Thawing relations?
quote:
HAVANA (AP) — Cuba has allowed construction of the country's first new Catholic church in 55 years, the church said Monday. Experts said it's a sign of improving relations between the Vatican and Cuba's communist government.
The church, funded by donations from Catholics in Tampa, Fla., will be built in Sandino, a citrus and coffee-growing town in the far-western province of Pinar del Rio.
...
The government revived observance of a Christmas holiday and began allowing masses or homilies to be broadcast on official media. It also dropped a ban on church membership for Communist Party members that had been adopted in the years after the 1959 revolution.

The sanctions against Cuba are the stupidest policy this nation has. This isn't 1962. After all, they gave us somewhere to house our camel humping guests. Shouldn't that count for something?

Baby steps. The US should reward this move with a slight but noticeable reductions in sanctions.

So will money collected in the U.S. and being spent in a foreign country be frown upon by Obama and JeauxBleaux?

Gitmo is not exactly a "gift" from Cuba.

I know that, but you got the point.

My dad has some great stories about Gitmo from his time there in 1995.
I saw some crazy pics too. Can't believe he showed me those
