Deja Vu All Over Again

Looks like the European Union is feeling a little heat for their failed Cuba policy. Marc at Uncommon Sense has the details of a letter from Reporters Without Borders to the EU demanding they reconsider their policy of dialogue with the regime.

No doubt that this, the Czech model hiding-pictures-in-her-bra incident, and the denial of the Ladies in White's travel to receive the Sakharov Prize has had an impact on the EU's latest resolution urging its member states to pressure Cuba for the release of its political prisoners.

I'm skeptical that the EU's actions will make much of a difference. Why? Well, the EU has threatened Cuba before, but stops short of reinstating the sanctions against castro and his cronies that were foolishly lifted in 2004.
