<<Policy is not a knee-jerk affair. It's all about what-ifs. At least it used 
to be.>>

Gees. Sorry.  Okay.  I'll play.  So what if Vice President Dick Cheney, tired 
of ineffective Cuban policy, hijacks a plane, murders the pilot, and flies it 
to Cuba where he crashes it into one of Battista's old rub joints, believing 
Castro to be inside, kills all the people on the plane and everyone in the 
casino, but miraculously survives.  And what if then he sneaks back into the 
US and goes back to work the next day at the White House, no one the wiser, 
but some pain-in-the ass Cuban cop finds Cheney's VP  tie pin in the wreckage 
and so now the Cubans want the US to give him up.  Would the US do it?

I'm not so sure.  They might, but maybe not.  What do you think?
