The US policy for Cuba in 50 years has accomplished zero. Its not working. Everybody but us is and has been interacting with Cuba. Well actually we have a Diplomatic Mission in downtown Havana with a full staff so theoretically we are interacting.

Conservative values hasn’t got anything to do with it. Its a poor foreign policy decision that the Cuban enclave in S Florida has held the GOP hostage over for years. We need to establish official diplomatic ties and start holding out the carrots in return for changes in Cuba. This way we can squeeze Russia and Iran out as well which we should do. The Castro boys will be dead soon. Its time to take hold of Cuba and get them to change course. Its a little crappy Island you fly over to get to Jamaica for God’s sake.

We give Pakistan 1.2 billion per year and they are worse than Cuba will ever be.

You get too emotional about this stuff. Foreign policy isn’t about emotion its about reality.

So because the rest of the world does a thing, we should as well. thats what your points come down to. I don’t see any advantage to America opening Cuba under a communist. Our cash then supports communism directly.

As for Pak, we should stop funding EVERYONE but Israel since they have taken plenty of hits for us, and then review them all.

When Castro dies, then we can talk. Otherwise you are advocating another loss for America. Thats factual. Not emotional.

Hi Georgia Girl.

Most of what you say is accurate, but think about this...

There are millions of Cubans who had their businesses taken, their property confiscated, and their families killed.

Imo, reparations and compensation are necessary for a normalization with Cuba, period.

The only emotion I may show is laughter. But this isn't about me. It's about you who is in agreement with Obama on his new found policy re Cuba. You're in good company, though. I see now that Jimmy Carter has joined the ranks of those like you who favor doing business with a corrupt communist dictator. I also see why you continue to support that turd Rick Perry, because you lack, apparently, the ability to make rational decisions.

I understand the good folks at MSNBC also agree with you, as do world-renowned foreign policy "experts" Hillary Clinton and Jimmy Carter. And of course, the worst negotiator in the history of the US, Barack Obama. Bravo! You're in good company!
