and bret stephens is the pulitzer prize winning columnist for "the wall street journal." u because what stuck me as odd with regard to obama's opening to cuba and the call for the relar relaxation of the embargo is "the wall street journal" for 20 years has been calling for the end to the cuban embargo, but when obama did it, of course it turns out he's done it all wrong and the journal has a robust editorial explaining how this was all the wrong way to do it. it does feel as though if obama were to say the sky were blue, the journal would say there was something wrong with that. >> i think it was a subtle editorial that made the point that 20 years ago what we called ago was lifting the embargo for the sake of helping the cuban people at the expense of the cuban government. i don't want to come out and simply flatly oppose what obama has done. what my concern is, is that after this flurry of engagement, of an opening, good headlines for the president, we are going to find that the castro regime or its successor is going to be much more obstreperous than we had imagined. t
