If you want to go to Cuba, what is to stop you from going via any other
country in the region rather than directly from the U.S.?



It is not the going to Cuba that is the problem. It is the coming back to
the USA with the Cuban stamp in your passport.

Heck, anyone could sail down to Cayman Brac, and then go to Cuba from
there. If you do though, you'd better be ready to "lose" your passport
and get a new one at one of the US embassies in some foreign country. A
lot of hassle just to visit a particular country.

Personally, I do not know why the USA is still embargoing Cuba when we
are running a HUGE trade defecit with Communist China, and thereby
funding the modernization of the Chinese military.

However those are the rules as of today.


I believe the US lifted trade concessions with China when China agreed to
make capitalist changes to their economic system. Those changes should
inevitably lead them down the slippery slope to democracy.

Stephen ,, China agreed to ??? Your kidding, right? The US lifted trade
when Walmart told the senators it pays for to do it.

Bought and paid for,, the whole US government. One big corrupt bunch of
thieves.

Are you living in do do land or what. If you are blind to the corruption of
the US government, I feel for ya.

ChinaMart .. go take a look. Everything on the shelves at ChinaMart is
from China; a communist country. Yet, an island 90 miles from Key West,
and we can't visit because why? If capitalism is curing China, why are we
not letting the Cubans have some medicine.

You seriously can't see what a corrupt government the US is. Mexicans can
come across the border; Bush doesn't care about that. We are building
power plants in Iraq so that Iraq becomes a democracy .............. but we
can't visit CUBA?

Are you F...king kidding me?
