Positive. It's fun to watch the GOP squirm.

Positive!


I believe the majority of Americans want to try something new and feel that our
country have been isolated on its Cuba stance.

We have a lot to offer Cuba and Cuba with its educated population surely could increase its contribution to world if it has free access to our community.

In the health field Cuba has performed way beyond its size. Having access to
our technology should further improve its performance.

The efforts of the US government to make Cuba into a pariah state have caused untold suffering to ordinary Cubans while doing nothing to loosen the Castros' grip on power. In fact, it had the opposite effect.

It also wounded the American psyche in many ways, not least of which is the Cuban refugees' anger over the Bay of Pigs and of Kennedy's refusal to invade Cuba in the wake of the Missile Crisis. This prompted some of those refugees to involve themselves with the assassination of JFK.

So, yes. Definitely and long overdue.

Positive and necessary.

At this point, kicking Cuba is meaningless.

We NEVER BROKE relations with Argentina, but Cuba is too evil to deal with? Get real.
