" When Castro does finally die, Cuba is going to need smart guys like this to help rebuild their country."

Cubans started rebuilding their country in 1959, when the US backed, blood soaked dictatorship of Batista was kicked out by the Cuban people.

They have since built a world class education system
They have since built a world class health care system
They have since built a world class tourism industry
They have since built a world leading organic agricultural system

Cuba is not the crumbling buildings that the US media prefers to show Americans. That is the historic section of old Havana. Most sections of the cities have been restored, renovated, and upgraded with world class hotels, shops, transportation, infrastructure, schools, hospitals, etc, to support one of the fastest growing tourism industries in our hemisphere.
