"Cuba's economy is at a very crucial moment," the professor said. "It doesn't possess the capability to keep on importing and that means major crisis."

Now is the time to force Castro to make democratic changes, not prop up his communist regime with trade. Subsidized sales to Castro won't help his slave labor, it will only free up his budget for global anti-American activities. His former trading partners will tell you what it's like to hold Castro's IOUs.

Fidel Castro - Cuba

What we American's pay for sugar is an outrage.

Officials said they envision closing about 70 mills, and converting cane fields into vegetable farms or cattle ranches, while reassigning 100,000 workers to the remaining mills, other farm jobs or retraining then to work in food processing factories.

That great agriculture expert. Fidel Castro, took a healthy agrarian economy in 1960, a nation self-sufficient in vegetable production, and put all his eggs in one basket to try to reap the rewards of sugar.

In the 1060s, he destroyed the fruit and vegetable economy as Cuba was forced to plant sugar cane on unsuitable land.

Common sense has finally returned after 40 years of one man's singular incompetance!

Too little too late!

Castro's backsliding into oblivion has been an example of how not to run a country.

The people of Cuba have been manipulated and enslaved for too long and deserve a better life.
