I was watching Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations a couple hours ago and tonight's episode was about Cuba. As an American who's actually been to Cuba 3 times I feel like I have a unique outlook on our Southern neighbor but I wonder what other people think about the place.
I found it very hard to find anything in Cuba that I didn't instantly love, the people especially are amazing and more outgoing than any other place I've ever visited. The show I just watched pointed out a lot of things that I noticed myself like the old American cars which seem to be taken care of better than most new cars here in America. The food was incredible and the place is as beautiful as any vacation destination I've seen in Mexico, Central/South America, the USVI or anywhere else for that matter.
While I do understand why we were at one point barred from traveling to Cuba I really wonder if it does anything but hurt both countries today. I would love to be able to freely travel to Cuba for personal reasons and would love to see us become trade partners, what do you think?
Normalize it those poor folks are tired of driving '57 Chevys and Buicks!
Mircea's points sound about right. I'd definitely open up trade with Cuba at this point. The Castro regime was pretty bad, yes, but it's not like we have particularly clean hands either. And I'd like to be able to get some damn Cuban cigars.
1. It's much closer to home. We can bring goods in by rail or truck.
2. Mexico isn't run by a communist dictator.
1. A better solution would be to make it at home.
2. That's never stopped us from engaging Communists.
