re: Cuba embargo to be lifted

I know there are few irate yahoos in this thread but most right-wing media I've browsed today has been shockingly OK with this move...

I don't think it's that controversial in the long run

Exactly. Most sensible conservatives, and really people, want a united economy in the world. It's the reason why China and Japan haven't gone to war recently, it's the reason why the US and Russia have been on ok terms, and it's the reason why Germany hasn't invaded France recently. If one person fricks with someone, then the whole system is fricked. Yes we don't like the Chinese necessarily, but the fact that our economies are totally interlocked prevents war.

Can anyone else not see this opportunity with Cuba? Really, Cubans aren't all that different from other Latin American countries. In fact, we used to be very close with them, since they're literally on our front porch. Improving relations with one of our closest neighbors is only a good thing, and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional and set in a Cold War mindset.
