I wish business be conducted with a democratic government in Cuba; a country with a brutal dictator who traffic drugs deserves to be helped. A rich Castro will mean a poorer and repressed Cuban people. Only God can help us.

CALIFORNIA HAS AN ACTOR AS ITS GOVERNOR,THE LAST PRESIDENT WAS A DUNCE,THE PRESENT PRESIDENT A JOKER,in order to get the economy going all taxes must be eliminated,scrapped,the reason for this is! only the goverment and the cooperations has the money that was stolen from the people for the last 50 years.Both houses of parliment needs to be restructed,all those geriatrics senators, must be replaced with people that are young and properly educated.

It's nice your church sends things to Cuba. I research economic policies of churches. On Pg.1414, Vol. 4 of one edition of "The Catholic Reference Encyclopedia," there is the definition of "Private Property." It says God invented private property (quoting the 1932 pope.) It says "The Church vigorously defends against those political systems that seek to replace private with public ownership." That means the Church opposes all non-capitalist nations--like Cuba, N. Korea, N. Vietnam, Allende's Chile, Mossadegh's Iran, Chavez' Venezuela, Sandista Nicaragua, etc. But the US and its CIA used our taxes & soldiers to implement Vatican policy in those nations. See books by Helms & aides to Nixon & "The Pentagon Papers." We aided Catholic Diem, Pres. of S. Vietnam while he secretly profited from heroin grown in Laos & processed with water from soft drink factories. Nixon was a lawyer for Pepsicorp when out of office. In l972, he went to China to sell Pepsi. it was one of the first trade agreements he made there. I hope Cuba develops oil so the US embargo won't mean a thing any more.

Cuba is another market lost due to the ignorance of the Bush administration

Why deal with China, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, etc but not Cuba? It makes no sense. Anyway I have a right to travel to Cuba whether or not Washington agrees. Cheers.

Describing gross abuses of human rights as a Cuban reputation and legacy should also describe China in the identical terms. Why the double USA standard used for these two countries?

Its wonderful that y'all base your pure opions from afar and on vacations. That you've not had that unique experience of executions harassment threats living hell that only the castro brothers, and che, dish. Pick on Bush all you want but he was a president focused on our nations security while other politicos were bent on bucks and resorts. Thank God he didnt have just a pretty speech but the action. And was he THE ONLY POLITICIAN, AND RICE, ON THE JOB? Kids, do your real research and quit slobbering.

I have been to cuba 6 times.I see many imported products in cuba.Cuba can buy just about anything they want but are limited buy their ability to pay.I do not think the U.S understand reality.I know the organization that I belong to will continue to ship large amount of materials free of charge to poor people in cuba.I am very surprized about people in the US who claim to be christian are against cuba.
