re: Cuba embargo to be lifted

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.

It's not as simple at that, and, this move is somewhat of a gamble. It's not a sure bet that all will be rosy.

It will be up to the Republican Congress to pass legislation to lift the embargo.

As I stated in my previous post, there should be some conditions attached to the embargo lifting -- namely, no more military assistance to North Korea and no Russian military or intelligence-gathering bases in Cuba.

We can make it clear that the USA will no longer engage in any covert or overt operations designed to overthrow the Castro Regime. In return, Cuba stops acting like an enemy of the USA. After those terms are met and demonstrated, Congress lifts the embargo.

We can't have better relations with Cuba until both Cuba and the USA stop acting like mutual enemies.
