Argues that the tightened embargo is less likely to force Fidel Castro from power and more likely to entangle the US in a series of retaliatory exchanges with its allies in both bilateral and multilateral fora. Concludes that the US attempt to dictate the eonomic and foreign policies of its allies is misguided, and that tightening the embargo is inconsistent with the US interest of promoting a peaceful transition to democracy in Cuba. 3/7/00 M2LMGR A 22009 22009 0 0 0 0 CRCM CRCM 2023-05-04 0 0000000016023 2023-05-04 00:00:00 2023-05-04 A
