Here's my problem - if Puerto Rico hasn't exploded as a tourist destination, and they're actually part of the U.S., why do we romanticize about a Cuba that hasn't existed in over 50 years - the tourist Cuba that was created by the U.S. mafia.

Here's my prediction - this is going to end badly when more people realize how fricked up Cuba is and it is the Castros' fault that it is so fricked up.

Yet they will blame us for it.

What are you talking about? Plenty of people, particularly from the Northeast go and vacation in Puerto Rico. I've gone and vacationed in Puerto Rico this year.

Cuba is already a tourist destination for most of the Western world. I've been, and I ran into tourists from all over Europe and Australia and Canada. Havana is a fabulous city (at least in the more accessible parts).
