Bad idea! Nothing will change for the average Cuban who will still have to struggle to make ends meet. Any and all economic gains will end up, as always, in the pockets of the ruling elite. And Cuba will continue to be communist!

So, nothing will change for Cubans, and Americans will have more liberty. What, exactly, is the problem again?

Maybe not, Cw; Communism has a way of doing itself in.
Just heard Stew Varney (Fox Business) say that Venezuela is in the economic tank, and with Russia imploding...Cuba will be hard-pressed for oil. Which is the basis for any economy.
Stew asserts that it is fracking, and our new economic power via oil...that is changing the whole Global political dynamic. Cuba is in a bind; they will need us...and you can book that with the new Congress and Obama heading to the golf course or back to street/community organizing...things are going to change.

You don't see tourism expanding, jobs created, and the services of the internet eventually defeating communism?
Think about the long run. There will be a huge economic development in Cuba. Casinos will open up (major reason for the start of the embargo), resorts will be established, and cigars will be cheap.

You know, I really like John Perkins as an author as well... but maybe another point of view may be beneficial to get a better overall picture of the global landscape?

About time.
And by any measure how can it not be better for the average citizen of Cuba?
