As for the Cuba debarcle, I always saw it of less of an endorsment and mire of offering an alternatvie viewpoint. In the channel 4 documentry Sean mentions it somthing along the lines of it being better than all that Tibetan Freedom Concert rubbish. I think the band, and specifically Nicky saw those concerts as being less about caring about actual Tibetan freedom and more about pushing an Americanised world view, with the west acting as champion for all that is good and pure, while ignoring the issues caused by its own decidance. I think there whole Pro-Cuba, anti US stance was a way of pointing out that hypocrasy.
Or at least thats how they saw it. In reality it looked more like an endorsment of Castros regime, hence why they seem to regret it all somewhat now.
