Thus the entire debate on Cuba is a sham, as divorced from reality as anything Fidel Castro has ever said. And while the spurious debate flickers on about what the U.S. should do (when it can do nothing) so does another sham--the American embargo on Cuba trade.

At present, "any South American government can get the atom bomb, and any can fall under the control of a Castro or a Peron." Chayes also suggested negotiating an "arms embargo for black Africa...
