It is one thing to ask that asylum not be given. It is another to demand the return of someone given asylum in return for trade agreements. America has allowed in more than its share of spies, felons, traitors. So has the USSR, Cuba, China, England, Germany, France .... To us, the murder of the two police officers was a crime. Cuba saw it as an act of dissidence and heroism.
So, regardless of how the people feel, the American government is not going to open up Cuba with a proviso to return Ms. Chesimard to us. Not gonna happen. Not by those presently in office. Not by anyone who was formerly in office. Not by someone who might be in office in the future.
