  2. Bottom line -- the old policy failed. So logically was the U.S. supposed to stick with that failure for another 100 years? Get real and MOVE ON.

    Your right jingthing --its not Cuba that's been left behind with that policy, but America. I was talking to a group of Barclay's Bank UK people way back in the early 90s & they were having their annual staff meeting in Havana. Many people have been holidaying there, for some years---It's really quite silly to say things like, their a communist country & its illegal for your citizens , to visit there--then have one of your largest trading partners as China & not only welcome but actively seek their tourism.

    Yes they had---or would have had, missiles 90 miles from the USA mainland, but at that time, the USA had missiles

    just 210 "Yards", away from the soviet border --sitting in Turkey 1 they were placed there first----this, some people seem to have forgotten was what the argument was all about, the Cuba agreement was for both parties to take them away (& they both did).

    If Russia or China had stationed its troops in a country like Cuba, then that government changed more then half a century ago, but they refused to leave, (let alone open a prison camp) what would the USA be saying. ? Sadly some Americans still feel its their right to be there.

    If you want to judge Cuba's standard of living then do it against its nearest neighbor.--Haiti, which had the same sort of government that Cuba had pre the takeover, its an absolute basket case that America pores aid into, ranked the 15th most corrupt country in the world with levels of poverty regarded as among the most severe in the western hemisphere. 2

    In 2010, Australia registered a $16.8 billion trade surplus, with goods and services exported to more than 200 countries.

    ....but he (Taksin) told us he’s had $1 billion of the funds seized by a succeeding government returned to him. Thaksin also said that since soon after Yingluck took power in 2011, his Thai passport was restored and he has been able to travel widely on it.
