US Tries to Open Relations with Cuba....
http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/17/politi...html?hpt=hp_c2
I live in south Florida, have many Cuban friends... and have wanted this since I was aware of the embargo in the first place....
The only reason the embargo exists was President Kennedy's embarrassment during the bay of pigs. If not for that incident Cuba would probably be democratic today.. it drove Cuba into the arms of the USSR, lead to the Cuban missile crisis... etc etc
We then went nuts on Cuba... to appease the now elderly Cuban voting black in Miami, we actually labeled Cuba a state sponsor of terror! To this day they remain under that title, and it just boggles my mind. Rep. Diaz-Belard was on CNN earlier today and called Cuba a "state sponsor of terrorism" more than 10 times... can someone show me one connection to terrorism Cuba has?!
Cuba remained a politcal hot bed thanks to the voting block of my home state, but Clinton was looking to do something like this in his second term. That was until a child name Elian Gonzalez washed ashore in the late 90's.
The fact is Cuba has been modernizing since Fidel Castro resigned 4-5 years ago and in comparison to China, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Venezuela, and many African countries (all of which we have relations with) Cuba looks like a small puppy dog lol.
Ending the Embargo will bring in MILLIONS to the US via tourism, import / exports, and travel visa's... all while bringing yet another communist nation into the capitalist / free world. THERE IS NO DOWN SIDE.
The people effected by Castro 50-60 years ago should rightfully sue the Cuban nation for reparations (if they can prove them) but the number of people that qualify for this can be counted in the dozens today. D they really think they somehow trump the hundreds of millions of Cubans and Americans that live today? lol
PS... Yes I know there is another thread about this with the exact post I just copy and pasted... the author of that thread couldn't stay on topic so I started a new one. Hopefully we can have a normal, peaceful discussion here.

Let's start off the same way shall we?.
Cuba negotiates with Terrorists. Therefore, we should not be working with them.

And We Declared War On Terrorism. The war is still going on.
Did you forget this fact? Or do you choose to ignore it?

Imac has a fetish of reporting hijacked/off topic threads. Even though he started the American supporting Terrorist comments in the thread I created. I added more examples that he didn't like or accept, and then I was off topic.
I guess giving the Drug Cartel guns isn't supporting terrorists. Even though they kill people, inflict fear, and cause harm to others in their way.
