I'm comfortable with the designation of Cuba as a terrorist state, (1). That
perception of mine is based mostly on my perception of their actions in the
1980s in Africa.
Recently they seem to have calmed down whether because they wanted to or
because they have no power any more is a different matter. That begs another
interesting question. Is it possible for a country to move off the list if
there is no change in regime and no repudiation of what went before or
admission of guilt or reparation?
Libya seems to have changed its ways, for instance.
The MPs cited seem to have chosen a weak example of Cuba's plight. Spying is
spying and if you get caught, you get punished, that's how that game is
played. We spy all the time too. Not sure that's such a good thing, but are
there alternatives? Dunno.
1 - as well as North Korea, who are much much higher on the list, if there
is an ordering. Anybody trying for WMD for no real reason makes my personal
list (and that includes India and Pakistan too, I suppose, although that
begs the question of why it's OK for us to have them and not India).
