Cubans Love America but Hate the U.S. Government

Cubans Love America but Hate the U.S. Government

The New York Times recently carried an interesting article about Cuban citizens who are wearing clothes depicting the American flag. The fashion statement reflects the excitement among the Cuban people for renewed relations between the United States and Cuba and a hope that the decades-old U.S. economic embargo against Cuba will finally be lifted.

The downside to this phenomenon is that it might encourage U.S. national-security state officials, especially those in the CIA, to believe that Cubans are finally willing to embrace a U.S. regime-change operation that ousts the communist regime from power and installs a pro-U.S. dictatorship in its stead.

Nothing could be further from the truth. While the Cuban people love America, they absolutely hate the U.S. government, specifically the national-security state branch of the federal government.

That notion shocks lots of Americans because for them America and the federal government are one and the same thing. That’s why, for example, they equate patriotism with love of the national-security branch of the government, specifically the military.
