Your comment seems to be the repetition of the so-called "public diplomacy" of somebody like Otto Reich is. Have you ever been in Cuba, I guess you were not, because you were not allowed to travel to Cuba until now? "Cuba is the hell," they tell you, "but you're not allowed to see yourself, what it is about in such propaganda. Being a German woman, I am allowed to travel to Cuba, and I did so since more than 10 years frequently. I found out, circumstances are much different there than I was told by our mass medias at home also. Did you ever read the reports by the UNESCO about Cuban health care, education and about its agricultural sustainable achievements? <em>For full comment click <a href="http://cohaforum.blogspot.com/2009/09/response-to-constructive-engagement_15.html" rel="nofollow">here</a></em> Dear Mr. Hayes,

When other nations are truly open to a meaningful dialogue and to reciprocal learning, that is. In the case of Cuba, there are grave reasons to doubt that there is any intention to reciprocate, let alone to learn. Our nation's record on human rights, while admittedly not perfect, has been improving over that last fifty years to a point that many nations were disappointed and outraged by the conduct of the Bush Administration, as well as its' prevalent attitude when contrasted with that of former Presidents, including Mr.Bush's own father. There must be many reasons so many choose to immigrate to the US, by legal or by other means. <em>Read the full response <a href="http://cohaforum.blogspot.com/2009/09/response-to-constructive-engagement.html" rel="nofollow">here</a></em> Dear Mr. Katz,

Let us hope it will find many readers, inclusively those of the Obama administration. From the point of view of people like me, the case of the Cuban Five is the actual peak of the iceberg within the relationship not only between the U.S. and Cuba, but also between the U.S. and Latin America while regarding all the former terrorist acts against Cuba and covered wars against Latin America by such operations as CONDOR and CORU carried out with impunity. It would be marvellous if you could write a respectively well-researched article about the case of the Cuban Five within this context, s.: www.freethefive.org and www.antiterroristas.cu .
