Is Obama about to announce normalized relations with Cuba, after 50 years?! I say it's about time!

Default US to normalize relations with Cuba!

There was a lot more to the release of the American prisoner this morning than met the eye. It is apparently part of a move on both sides to normalize US-Cuba relations including establishing embassies. It's about time.

Will Cuba turn over all fugitives and terrorists hiding from American justice? Will Cuba recongize US sovereignty over all lands under US sovereignty?

I would love to travel to Cuba while it still has the mid-50s look and feel. In a short while, it will be overrun with American culture and that will be lost forever.

I hope so, too.

It always boggled my mind that we can have so much trade with Communist China and then treat Cuba like a gigantic threat to democracy, or something.

I think it would be a very wise move. It still baffles my mind that those sanctions have been kept for so long.

Long overdue.

About 20% of what would otherwise have been the Cuban population, resides in the US.
