That was 50 years ago. 50. How has this policy of isolation worked? What has it accomplished in the last 50 years?
We have made friends with North Vietnam, China and Russia in that time. We are still friends with Venezuela and Mexico (who has been systematically invading the US for the last 50 years). But we have isolated Cuba. Boy we really taught them a lesson, didn't we? What lesson exactly have we taught them?
I forgot to add the Mariel Boatlift. Castro publicly stated “I have flushed the toilets of Cuba on the United States.” He emptied the jails of criminals, and also emptied the insane asylums, and shipped them here. I say we shouldn’t spend our bucks in Cuba. If you really want to go, I think you can get there easily from the Bahamas.
