I mean this sincerely, I care nothing about you. There really is no reason to snipe at me in multiple threads because your opinions are meaningless to me.
Hopefully that is freeing for you.

Lefty elites have no problem with that. Castro only hates republicans. He's willing to sensibly negotiate with Democrats.

1. Fidel ain't goin' nowhere. Walking to his bathroom is a chore. Raul might be invited.
2. These people talking about the free market of Cuban cigars don't realize that during the 50 year embargo it enabled the Dominican Republic to produce a cigar industry just as good.
3. The big economic opportunity of normalization is with international hotel chains. The beaches in Cuba could be restored and tourism could be like a giant version of Cancun if the Cuban govt abandoned Marxist central planning.

The big economic opportunity
New Orleans and La in general will do well exporting agriculture items to Cuba.
Progress is happening. In 10 years Cuba will be a totally different place than it is today.

If Congress refuses to act, Obama might make it the 51st State by EO by next Christmas.

My dad was an Air Force pilot 20 years during Korea and Viet Nam against the Communists. I remember as a kid, dad told me that Cuban Communists helped the Korean and Viet Nam commies. In fact, dad said they worked behind the lines and even tortured our prisoners worse than the commies. Castro provided torture to American prisoners. Obama wants to be friends with this guy.

Do the Cubans not have an entire planet they can trade with besides the US?
Do you not think the regime will use this event as a propaganda for getting over on the US?
I find it troubling that so many of you put the US and the same moral footing as the thug Castro brothers.
They can't trade with the economic engine of its hemisphere. It's not a globalized nation. The importance of trade with the U.S. to them is magnified.
I'm not concerned with what the regime says. Getting over on us? The majority of people in this country and the world think this is the right move. Only people with u evolved thinking would see this as you do. cuba is a third world island country that has only two exportable products and its car fleet is 70 yrs old. I would hope our country has thicker skin than you.
Where did I put the U.S. on the same moral footing as Castro? You're flailing dude, you're an artifact.

There are differences, but nothing to justify changing postures.
I mean, folks - if y'all can't see the differences between Nazi Germany and today, Imperial Japan and today, The Soviet Union collapsed, even "Communist" Albania, Vietnam and China, have changed drastically over the past 30, 40 years.
Cuba hasn't. The lone holdout.
And we just handed them an outright win.
Where is this win bullshite coming from? What did they "win"? I mean seriously a third world country just opened up for us to trade with, we're fricked!

Why is any of that our problem?
They wanted their revolution, and they got it.

Your posts seem to imply that the US is somehow equally responsible for Cuba's economic hardship as that bearded thug and we have an obligation to fix their problems.

They "won" a very significant political and economic victory. I'm terribly sorry if you can't recognize that.

Fortunately for liberals, the 'They" in your post will be able effectively regulate the influx of socks, toilet paper, cars, and toothpaste the evil capitalist Jooo bastards and the reicht-wing industrialist Koch Bros will bring. In twenty years, there will be Blue Velvets extolling the moment when Fidel allowed brave Cuban revolutionaries to have paper products to wipe their arse.

To answer the OPs question, the sooner the better. It will expedite the process of restoring relations with much of Latin America, and could help to kill off the over-70 faction of Americans, that hold the country back, with heart attacks. Win-win.

He will be given a hero's welcome. There will be a round of parties, receptions, etc by the leftist glitterati.

Cuban cigars aren't anything special except for their cost. I don't smoke anymore but I never found anything special in Cubanos.

This could have been done decades ago but it would have violated the equal suffering for (almost) all philosophy of the regime.
