Except that since 1 March 2011 anyone who has visited Cuba is no longer entited to enter the USA on an ESTA, they need a visa:
"The vast majority of UK visitors to America enter through the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation – Esta. This is the swift, cheap and easy online permit. But the US government insists that any visit to Cuba since 1 March 2011 disqualifies British holidaymakers from the Esta scheme."[0]
My parents have been to Cuba, and to the USA, although their long-haul travelling days are behind them.
Q: What's the point of this policy?
