   RR> US sanctions against Cuba have always been more political (Court the   
   RR> Cuban vote), and retaliation for Castro kicking American businesses and   
   RR> mob run casinos out of Havana than any type of security threat.   
   RR> Embargo's and travel bans were put in place before the Cuban Missile   
   RR> Crisis, which was Soviet retaliation for the US putting medium range   
   RR> nuclear missiles in Turkey.   
       
   There was a time when we collected dis-used Fido-equipment and sent it to a   
   node in Spain who would ship it to Cuba as they had no access to   
   home-computers. Iberia operqted q service and cargo could go that way. It was   
   support to local schools.
