It is well past time to mend fences with Cuba. Damme, but we trade with Vietnam, China, Russia, and yet manage to act like children with Cuba.

In 1953, if anyone was paying attention, we disposed an elected leader of Iran because we didn't think we could boss him, and installed a bloody damned tyrant , The Shaw. They have long memories and a strong resentment. Wouldn't we have if someone treated us that way?

It doesn't matter why a country is our enemy. The point is, to continue to be their worst enemy.

I would rather destroy Cuba than befriend them.

If I had to create a ticket right now of the current group, I'd probably tab Bachman and Cain.

I'd rather destroy communism and socialism over destroying Cuba, done right, we could freeze out the Venezuelans and the Chinese, both of whom are a greater threat.

I'd could go with Bachman and Cain...Perry is a definite maybe.

Nobody was talking about "befriending" anybody. He was talking about opening up to trade with them. And why not? It is a collectivist notion that nations and governments should make "friends" of other nations.

If the US really represented markets and capitalism it would not presume to dictate to its citizens which exchanges it could and could not enter into.

Such controlling and planning is the hallmark of a socialist nation- not one built on capitalism and markets.

Our policy towards Cuba is a reflection of our own socialism.
