I still vote for making Mexico the 51st state and thus get rid of the illegal alien problem.
I have a bottle of California's finest champagne cooling in the garage frig, just waiting for the day when the bearded SOB dies...
For those of you who blame Castro's left turn, on the U.S. here are a couple of facts:
The U.S. was the first country in the world to recognize Castro's government.
The U.S. was the first country to grant diplomatic status to Castro's fledging government.
Some have theorized that Castro was co-opted by his brother Raul (a life-long Communist) and by Che (another life-long Communist).
The Cuban people have suffered for way too long under Castro's stranglehold.
And the U.S. has gone too long not being "friends" (or at least civil) with its closest neighbor.
One thing almost everyone can agree on is the almost universal affection that the Cuban people (on both sides) have for the U.S. and the American people.
The Cuban people, unlike people from other parts of the world, for the most part love the U.S. and the American people.
Let's hope that the vast reservoir of affection between the two people (regardless of official government positions) will help the two countries "re-unite."
Viva Cuba Libre....
