Yesterday, Barack Obama said that he would ease restrictions on visiting and sending money to Cuba. Castro is washed up and I’m not convinced that the punishment strategy has been the least bit effective with Cuba. Look at China. Sure they aren’t perfect, but are they more free today than 10 years ago? How about Vietnam?
Cultural exchange and economic development are some of the most effective methods of undermining these regimes. If it weren’t for the old-line Cuban exiles in FL, Castro would have been irrelevant when the Berlin Wall came down.
