It would really be a shame if Congress restored the travel restrictions. The cold war is over. Full story.

Tourists take a ride in a 1955 Desoto convertible in Havana Aug. 17. The first group of Americans to tour Cuba under new, more liberal U.S. travel regulations have been greeted by hugs, handshakes and a welcoming Cuban government, according to a trip organizer. Cuban-American members of the U.S. Congress already have proposed legislation to roll back the regulations, so it remains to be seen how long the freer travel will last.


We look like absolute idiots maintaining this ridiculous attitude toward Cuba. How damned embarrassing for us to look frightened of them, as though they were some kind of threat.
They represent the end of the Cold War as Kennedy exposed the Soviets as paper tigers and stopped their adventures cold. All the billions spent after 1962 were wasted. The CIA knew they were finished, but the warmongers kept inflating the threat in order to spend money. In the end they have weakened us to where we are truly threatened and close to losing our dominance.
