5. Ya got me. I read the first couple of paragraphs and became so furious
that i told myself I couln't even write a reply.

But I finally caught on. Great presentation! Terrific way to lay it out. Great irony.

No one will ever be able to erase the atrocities of policy and the effects of the war of embargo against CUba, plus the hypocrisy of cutting off trade and tourism with a so-called 'commie' country while allowing decades of trade and tourism with bona fide communist countries. This was all due to the filthy policies of Republicans and Democrats in Washington. Though the commie reason was officially presented by these politicians and the people who pushed them and whose votes were purchased, there has never been any reason that anyone could conceive of to isolate Cuba after the fall of the Berlin Wall or even after the USSR started letting Cuba go.

Yes, had there been normal relations, there would have been a lot of little people who would have done very well. They could have joined the little people in other countries who had a chance to pull themselves up by the tourism boom of the last half of the last century. When tourism is impossible. little people scramble.

Perhaps, the great country of the United States will honor the plea of the Pope about tearing down the wall that the U.S. cruelly built between the U.S. and Cuba, as a last wish.

The number one industry in the world for decades was tourism. The Republicans took care of that. They prefer to make war the number one industry.

Viva Cuba for surviving after all these decades.
