While I am no fan of the Castro administration, I am also no fan of the current, quite irrational, US policy towards Cuba. As such, I am pleased to see that the Bush administration allows Cuba into World Baseball Classic.
It just is the right thing to do. It’s sports, for crying out loud, and nothing was served in denying the Cuban players the opportunity to play.
Play Ball not Politics
Nothing was to be gained by the ban and it only provided ammo to those people who criticize US policy towards Cuba.

Careful, Steven. I expressed similar sentiments as yours, and the Conductor was not pleased!

Of course they are going to let them play. Give those Cuban baseball players a chance to defect.
