Maybe a reason to show a little optimism today about Cuba. Raul Castro indicates he is willing to openly discuss anyting ad everything about relations with the U.S. Oops! Just learned that Raul wants to treated as an equal with President Obama. I guess we had better temper the optimism a bit.
I also present the following commentary from one of our hemisphere's most noteworthy democracries (lower case intended) about the upcomoing Summit of the Americas.
"I have no doubt there's more democracy in Cuba," he jeered.
I certainly can only expect great things from the Summit. Maybe the bailout can be exptended to include Cuba. After all, Cuba is the beacon of socialism to which President Obama aspires. The wealth in Cuba was so effectively re-distributed that only the ruling Junta has any wealth at all. However, I can think of no better place to find classic American cars from the 1950's
All of this said, I do hope a meaningful dialogue can open up.
