Would the US government choose to lay dormant when Castro dies though? Even if his brother does take over, could the US jump in quickly enough and force themselves on the regime? I mean, what is actually holding back the US from taking Cuba; the government has had their hands in the middle east for so long that I can almost assume that they are not bothered by scruples at all.
