How long until until Fidel and Raul Castro are invited to the White House?

Full diplomatic relations now right?
The Castros were staring at the abyss due to reduced Russian purchases of sugar and lower oil costs. Just at that moment Obama threw them a lifeline.
How some of you can't see this as a supreme victory for the Castros is beyond me.

Shut up and get a life. We get it. You mad.
Go protest about our trade relations with China and Saudi.

Comrade Obama has bailed them out without demanding any consessions before the deal was struck.

You should like Cuba and the Castros. They execute innocent people there with the benefit of due process.

What talk radio personality has trotted out the concessions spin? Too many of you clowns are saying it to be your original thought.

Probably the recovering alcoholic and drug addict Glenn Beck.

Can you refute that this isn't a victory for Fidel Castro, the man who was willing to incinerate your family a few decades ago?

The true irony of this is that JFK was the one who really ramped things up with Castro.
He wouldn't even recognize his own party - 50 years later.

Such a drama queen....it's a victory for freedom. Castro is nearly dead and his country will now be inundated by the light of freedom. The best, proven way to crush authoritarian regimes is to expose them to the free markets. The embargo punished the Cuban people and entrenched the regime. The embargo was wholly ineffective. Refute that.

He might be able to recognize that the realities of the Cuban situation have changed significantly in the last 50 years. Can't you?

Well, we let Moumar Khadafy pitch a tent in NJ before he spoke at Rutgers. Things went downhill for him after that though.

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.

So many beaches to be developed by American contractors/hotel corps.

Castros still in charge of a Marxist-Leninist state, continuing to be full of anti-American piss and vinegar?
Still 90 miles away?
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.
