For a country of just 11.3 million people they sure have gotten a lot of press over the years.
Are they or their economy even significant in any way to the US?
This new relationship would benefit them more than the US by a large margin.
Meanwhile I bet the Mob Money will be flowing in very shortly and new brothels will be opening up over night regardless of what the Cuban Government does.
The Cubans need democracy and a free press more than anything else. (A not so perfect system I know but it's the best we have)
Meanwhile this thread is full of the standard Cuban propaganda. Excellent free health care ect...
My ex father in law was a devout atheist communist (WW2 Vet) and often was involved with raising money is Australia to "help" the Cuban people.
Supposedly this money was to help the poorest Cubans get decent medical help. That doesn't sound like and effective free system to me.
Why do people believe the crap they've been serving us for generations?
