http://www.washingtonpost.com/world...840518-85f5-11e4-a702-fa31ff4ae98e_story.html President Obama moved Wednesday to normalize relations with Cuba, tearing down the last remaining pillar of the Cold War after after more than 60 years. Under measures announced by the administration, the United States plans to re-open its embassy in Havana and significantly ease restrictions on travel and commerce within the next several weeks and months. The result of more than a year and a half of secret negotiations with the Cuban government of President Raul Castro, the changes followed Cuba’s agreement to release Alan Gross, a U.S. Agency for International Development contractor imprisoned for five years, and to exchange an unnamed U.S. intelligence asset, held for two decades, for three Cuban nationals convicted of spying in this country in 2001.
They've not been actual enemies of the US for decades. True diplomats do talk with our enemies in any case. When the guy does something good, why not say so? I do say so.
ummm, How do you know? Castro(s) are still in charge, what's changed? I was recalled to active duty in 1962, they had a little task in Cuba ready for me. Dang glad I didn't have to do it, But Castro did have missiles aimed at us with a real shallow trajectory. Not much in Cuba has changed with a Castro still running things, perhaps the only change is we have Obama and about to have another open border.
Considerable has change on our side, we now will give up what anybody wants to get an American held hostage returned. That about all I see changed. I expect to see more hostages taken though. Your laughfer reminds me a pimp I remember. Creepy.
No it doesn't. I give him credit for what he does that I agree is good. That his view of what's best is often very harmful to the republic is also truthful.
My friend was an ER doc in Miami. He said Cubans were the most entitled and complaining patients out there, he was sick of them. Apparently when they come here they have some sort of medical status which gives them a high priority. They act like royalty and come in for minor shit expecting VIP treatment.
