I wonder how Cubans feel being "opened up"
The Cuban Citizens got "opened up" real good in 1959.
Maybe this will put some "openings" into the Cuban Government.
But I have a feeling this "New Deal" will benefit the Government more than the citizens.
While I would like to think this maneuver is somewhat altruistic, I believe it's more Geo-political in nature. Ya know, that whole new cold war…

'Ignorant' eh.
The world was laughing at us long before Cuba, and over other things,
we had not problem supporting dictators as long as the were anti Soviet. Cuba chose the wrong team. That team lost over 20 years ago.

There was no logical reason for the embargo to last as long as it did. Many other nations have done far worst than Cuba and we have relations with them so why all the hate for Cuba?

If Cuba had oil under it like Iraq, Libya and syria, we wouldn't be hearing this.
Cuba does have oil. It is mostly off shore.
I wonder how Cubans feel being "opened up".
I think most Cubans, like my parents, are tired of 50 years of failed policy toward the Castro regime. Its time to try something different.
