Why are we still giving Cuba the cold shoulder when have relations with Russia, China, and Vietnam. Don't you think it's time to bury the hatchet?

What can make a nigga wanna fight a whole night club/Figure that he ought to maybe be a pimp simply 'cause he don't like love/What can make a nigga wanna achy, break all rules/In a book when it took a lot to get you hooked up to this volume/
What can make a nigga wanna loose all faith in/Anything that he can't feel through his chest wit sensation -
Yep.
Bush should go on TV, call Castro an irrelevant old fart, and tell us to spend our dollars like there's no tomorrow down there.
Effects:
1) Cubans realize that capitalism is greater the Socialism.
2) Cubans become restless, start demanding more freedoms
3) Castro goes nuts and cracks down harder.
4) Cubans don't stand for his his s**t anymore.
5) Bye, bye Castro and cronies.
6) Cuba becomes the Vegas of the Caribbean. Which is what is was going to be hadn't Castro F'd up."And his word shall carry
death eternal to those who
stand against righteousness." -

No. The government in Cuba has gone backward in the last couple of years from my view and has become more repressive.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

Yes, shame on Castro for having gotten rid of the US-originating corporations in his country that were shamelessly promoting gross inequality and substandard working conditions.Originally posted by Muad'Dib

40 years of sanctions and pressure has given us enormous political and geocapital results.
Full diplomatic relations, I wouldn't bother, but travel restrictions and embargos are ridiculous. Let the markets decide if there's any room or need for anything from Cuba besides rum and ceegars in our markets, and if they've got the cashola and want to buy our stuff, so be it. Same with individual travel.
We certainly haven't blinked too hard, now or ever, at a lot of other repressive governments. In China's case, we even seem to kiss their ass and bend over on trade issues.

Yeah, and la revolucion sure as hell brought them good working conditions and desirable equality (i.e. something more than "you're all equal - equally powerless peasants")Originally posted by MrFun

I think Castro was far less bad than Batista and whatever would have followed him, but I also think by now that in the absense of Castro, Batistaesque thugokleptocracy would have gone by the wayside too. Whether the Cuban people would have been any better off now is a toss up, but in terms of future opportunity, they'll be better off once Castro's revolucion moves into the history books.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016.

Famous last words.
