Very interesting concept. But don't we have to bomb them first?

Kidding aside, we can't be sure that all of the years of sanctions haven't been just as bad as bombing Cuba.

I think it was just as bad.

I am serious about rebuilding Cuba.

I think the Cubans would be up to the task, if they were allowed to do so.

I think its safe to say that any "rebuilding" money sent to Cuba would be skimmed by the Castro family and their "friends", and very little of it would have much positive impact on Cuba as a whole.

Now, if we let Halliburton run their oil business for them, you'd see a real boost to the economy.

Whose? Cuba's or Halliburton's?

Life is so full of contradictions: Cuba is one of the safest place on earth for a tourist!

I'd love to be a lawbreaking rebel and visit there before resorts takes over.

My nephew finagled several graduate research trips there to study the interrelationship of music, place and politics. He ended up meeting a lovely Cuban girl, brought her back the US, and married her - a very lovely lass indeed. All of her family is still in Cuba.

BTW, he studied percussion with the primary percussionist on Ry Cooder's Buena Vista Social Club. The kid's quite a talent, having just earned a PhD in Cultural Geography from Arizona State last year. He's played in several Latin/Salsa bands with a pretty high talent level and made several CD's. If you're interested take a look at his website, focusing on the photoblog, music and geography links. Take a look at his C.V. as well, if you're interested.

I love Buena Vista and its off shoots.

Noticed your nephew was last month here in Brooklyn at a festival.
