USA recognizes Cuba!

USA recognizes Cuba!


I'm watching the news right now. President Obama is speaking about normalizing diplomatic relations with Cuba, and establishing an embassy in Havana. Since the revolution in 1959, when I was eight years old, we have been mortal enemies. It hasn't helped either nation- on the contrary it has set us both back. I'm glad I got to see this finally happen!

That's great news.
Perhaps Obama is going for his legacy, though it doesn't quite compare with Nixon and China or Reagan and Soviet Union, but at least Obama has not had a Watergate or an Iran-Contra affair.

I watched his address. As a Canadian, I am pleased that Obama acknowledged the role that Canada, and the Vatican played in the historic talks. There is a long way to go though!!

Oh, I think it compares very favorably. Cuba is quite small but this should make an enormous difference in this hemisphere. US hypocrisy is ending in this one small frame...it's all good.

Indeed! Three cheers for Canada! Americans so often take Canada for granted, but you are a superior nation in my view, and a trusted friend.

You are so right. It was pure stubbornness and petulance that allowed it to go on so long. That became an insane policy long ago and It's well past time to grow up and act like adults.

It's just a shame that the embargo went on so long. It was childish, petulant and stupid.

    This certainly sounds like an excellent step forward in diplomatic relations. I'm very happy for both nations.
Me too, Mel! This charade went on far too long. I blame US foreign policy for this blunder in the first place, but we had more than enough chances to fix it. Finally Obama has done the right thing.

I thought it sort of came out of the blue, too. Wasn't expecting it at all. I might not have posted this if not for the sheer surprise of it. I'm sure it will be a tortuous process getting it all straightened out, but this is a step in the right direction.

Unless it's a Cuban cigar! I understand Alexander Haig had a preference for CONTRAband Cuban cigars. I always thought that guy wasn't on the level. I'm not saying he wore his mother's dresses in the dead of night when no one else was around....but I'm not saying he didn't, either.

    Nothing going to change.
    Obama probably has political supporters who made investments in Cuba they need to see a profit on.
    Can't trust any politician.
    And Castro & Obama are two peas in a communist pod.
Actually, I disagree with you on your point about politicians. I had a running discussion/argument with a guy I worked with about that. He said they were all assholes too, but I think a number of them get into it to perform a public service. They get elected to office and discover a good ole boy network and find out that lawmaking really is like sausage making and they beat their heads against the brick wall trying to live up to their ideals, and some of them eventually give up. I have never been exposed to the financial temptation that those folks are teased with every day, and I'm not so sure I wouldn't give it up too, and go for the gold after a while. And I mean people from both sides- it's a mistake to always assume that the guy you disagree with is disingenuous or cynical or dishonest. You're right that many of them get into it to advance themselves, but I think for the most part they don't start out all that different from you or me.
