I have to say that I don’t see how it is that we can:

Travel to Iran.
Travel to Syria
Travel to North Korea

but Cuba is right out.

I don’t know if lifting the ban makes sense or not, but a little consistency would be a welcome thing.

The difference between Cuba and the other terrorist nations is two-fold: (1) Fidel nationalized a lot of American Businesses and he owes the owners a lot of money; and (2) the Cuban vote is very important in Florida, although the generation that fled Castro is dying out.

I think we have been on a path to stronger trade relations with Cuba for quite a while. A lot of Midwest farm states see a big market there, since the communists are, as always, unable to grow enough food to feed their own people.
