CUBA
http://www.zenit.org/rssenglish-25670
If we want to assist in the development of post-Castro CUBA into the freedoms of speech, press, religion/worship etc. we do it best by engaging not disengaging and punishing. SANCTIONS hasn't much worked there because the Europeans just picked up the slack and
sold/traded what we wouldn't just handicapping our commerce. That's just strategically dumb and getting old at this point. People hardly remember now why we are supposed to be mad at them. Long gone are the days where we hid under our desks for the Red Scare. So the oil companies are still mad Cuba nationalized them. Get over it already. That is what OPIC Risk insurance is for.
You often just invoke more entrenched resentment when you attempt to penalize
a society rather than constructively engaging them into the light.
We need to open doors so we can bring CUBA back into our extended family fold of free nations.
Apparently the Bishops agree and like the lean of Obama's direction in this regard.
How good it is when brothers can dwell together in unity.
