Castro to Clinton

I believe President Clinton should quickly and publicly take Fidel Castro up on his invitation to visit Cuba (Jan. 18). The Cuban leader challenged our president to argue the case for democracy and free enterprise to the Cuban people. Castro would look terribly foolish if he backed down on his offer, and if President Clinton did go to Cuba, the sky would be the limit, given his persuasive powers!

If Nixon could go to China, Clinton can be the leader to bring the voice of democracy to Cuba. (My only advice to the president before he addresses the Cuban people? Bring your own translator!)
