I'M an American but my mum is from St Helens so I like to read up on the Star from time to time. After reading W. Hennesy's letter concerning Cuba, I was left wondering where he is getting his information from.

I personally have not noticed any increase in anti-Cuban rhetoric or sabre rattling here in the United States.

And while most Americans may dislike Castro, I have a hard time believing that most of us would support military action against him in any form; especially after what has transpired in Iraq the past year.
