And good stiff vodka instead of turpentine tequila.

I'm surprised he has lasted this long...pretty tough old fart.

If this is a permanent changeover of power then maybe the U.S. can
find
the will to recognize that island nation off our shore and catch up
with the rest of the world.

That would be interesting to baseball fans I'm sure. But the bigger
issue is excluding an island nation for the past half century for no
good reason. Our policy of exclusion has not had the stated effect of
removing Castro from power, but it has caused unneeded hardship on the
average Cuban.


Yep. And at the same time the U.S. has delt with Saudi Arabia and China
all these years. If only Cuba had oil.

It is more the large population of legal immigrants and illegal aliens
from Cuba that have made it their life ambition to do whatever it takes
to rid Cuba of Castro, no matter the cost to the average Cuban still on
the island. Unfortunately they are a large enough voting block that
congress continues to enact anti-cuba legislation (boycotts mostly).

Sure, engage with Communist Cuba and make it a little Communist China 90
miles from Florida - brilliant!
LMAO.

How does Cuba become Chinese anyway...as usual you make no sense.

I don't really care what their political sway is. It makes no sense to
hold a nation of people (except Castro and his cronies) in a state of
perpetual semi-starvation. It should be clear half a decade later that
such a policy is a miserable failure. If anything it allows Castro to
retain a tight control on Cubans because he is the only source of their
meager sustenance.

As usual you don't understand a metphor.

Perhaps you should study Communist China to see the failure in your
brilliance.

Perhaps if Venezuala, who sends billion$, would tranfers Iranian nuke tech
to Cuba than everything will work out just fine.
bwaHAHAHA!
