Your are wrong, the Cuban exile community has tried to educate de American people about the nature of the Cuban regime, but, are President Bush and his great team of experts who realizes Castro's menace to the U.S. and are exerting the right policies to deal with him.

Prospective investors should ask, what purchase power can people have whose average salary is less than $7 dollars a month?

Castro has been very candid by repeatedly maintaining that he will never allow in Cuba any changes that may threaten his Stalinist scheme, much less to allow the free enterprise system. Don’t count on the protection of any law that favors foreign investment- in Cuba, nothing, according to Castro, is irreversible. Those who think they are going to reap quick profits in partnership with Castro, sooner rather than later, will find that they will loose their investments.

The Cuban regime is economically, ideologically and morally bankrupt. Those who have been helping to keep afloat the Cuban tyrannical regime for over four decades will pay dearly when Cuba is liberated and return to the rule of law under a democratic government. The American taxpayers should not allow to be charged for unwise business deals made by corrupt companies.

We have been very well educated of Castros purges and the rest. The question is how best could we influence the situation. The 41 year policy has not done that, I would suggest that after the fall of the USSR, we had a golden opportunity to change direction.

The rest of your reply is about economics and I posit that the same was true of China when Nixon went there. You have to start somewhere.

Is it your conclusion that trade and open travel with us would not be a foot in the door for capitalims either now or soon after the old man is dead? Or that some cultural or social changes would not result?
