During the spring of 2003, as missiles rained down on Baghdad, the ultra-right wing of the Cuban exile community took to the streets of Miami with a disturbing slogan: “Iraq now; Cuba later.” The demonstration, held on 8th Street, was not an isolated act or a marginal expression. It represented concrete pressure on the George W. Bush administration to extend its military crusade to the Caribbean island, under the same lies of “liberation,” “terrorism,” and “weapons of mass destruction” that had already been used to launch the invasion of Iraq.
