Well part of it is no doubt propaganda
Oh come on, Castro is a politician. Part of anything a politician does is about propaganda. That should be somewhat of a controlled/background variable by now.

That still seems odd to me, i mean communism used to be the big threat, but surely Cuba's system must be seen as some anachronistic left over by now? If anything, the unwillingness to trade or deal with the regime strengthens it more in the eyes of most of the 3rd world.

Bingo. Give this guy a degree, a diploma-something!
The fact is yeah, the only thing allowing a lot of the socialist system in place is in fact our trade barrier, ironically enough. You would think the US would have learned its lesson after china--tough guy rambo policies that alienate the country only perpetuate the isolationism, mutual hatred and accompanying nationalism/authoritarianism--allowing trade however opens the country up to new goods and ideas.
Americans however are not really the fastest learners, nor the most educated on matters of history.

I still think it's the Cuban exiles in Florida that make the decisions wrt this, they're the kind of swing voters most presidential candidates need to get in their camp.

Yeah as I explained beforehand world of warcraft is down. So I'm now actually having to concern myself with reality--or well internet forums which are closer to reality for me.

Actually, Cuba's threat to the U.S. has been given a new lease on life thanks to: Chavez, the growth of the FARC-EP in Columbia, the Bolvian crises, the ouster of the Equadoran president, etc. The left is on the offensive in Latin America, and Cuba stands there, defiant to the U.S., showing another path to neo-imperialism/globalization.

I think only the most rabid anti-communist would dsiagree that as far as enemies go, Cuba is among the most beneign. The U.S., however, considers Latin America its special preserve. It looks very dimly on even the smallest threats to its control.
This is actually a great time for the left to move forward, with the U.S. bogged down in the Middle East and now hurt bad in the Delta. We're in no shape to forcing our will in the region. Even so, we're certainly not going to take the pressure of Cuba and make it any easy for other states to escape our orbit.
