Now the manner in which Obama is going to achieve that goal -- unilaterally, without any conditions or meaningful concessions from Fidel & Raul -- is Brainless Idea Number N+1 from the regime.<br /><br />But back to my point: with Russia imploding, this would open the door to US influence displacing it in Cuba, and if we're lucky, displacing some of China's influence in Cuba too. Normal trade with Cuba could single-handedly make GM solvent again. ;-)George P.

One, don't reward a dictatorship by talking to them; two, have normal relations with a country regardless of how it is run. The first has been out policy for over sixty years. Doesn't seem to have had much effect. Why not try the second? Perhaps with a influx of American goods and ideas, the pressure to loosen up the reigns of power will come from the inside. Oh, and eliminate the "Americans are keeping us down" excuse that the Castros have been using for sixty years.heresolonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00461382067580153600noreply@blogger.com
