More coercion will lead to more freedom?

Bush claims that if the U.S. restricts the freedom of exchange with Cubans, the tree of liberty will bloom in the land of Castro. If this were true, then I hope Bush is willing to sign on to my campaign to promote "Freedom as an Investment"! Regardless, I guess 40 years of this crap is not sufficient to gather data and run a regression analysis to determine policy effectiveness. Of course, as Devlin will surely confirm once he sobers up, D.C. is mysteriously flooded with Cuban cigars! Hm. Cutting off Cuban: cui bono?
