18. Many Cubans are very upset with Bush.
Bush is trying to severely restrict the quantity and value of aid packages and cash sent by Cubans and Cuban-Americans to their relatives in Cuba, and are forbidding packages to aunts, uncles and cousins. I also recall that they are also reducing the number of visits from one per year to one every three years. The goal of course, is to reduce Cubans to absolute poverty so that they will throw Castro out. This is very, very hard-hearted. Bush has shown himself to be once again a compassionless conservative.
