The
Bush Administration's Handling of Cuba and North Korea and Other Contradictions,
by Wayne Smith (7/2/08) "Working
with some of the dissidents is what they do with the office in Cuba, and it doesn't
have much effect," says Wayne Smith, a former US diplomat who headed the
US interests section in Havana from 1979 to 1982. "If what we are intending
is to go to Tehran and act just as we have in Havana, it will fail." -Wayne
