It is obvious that change is coming to Cuba. The old Communists are
retiring. Soon,, who knows.


Don't count on it. There are younger "communists" willing to do what it
takes to continue things as they are.

Personally, the idea of US Presidents and legislatures doing the same
thing for 40 years and expecting a different outcome.... well, that's
one definition for insanity. The Communist regime would have dissolved
in short order without the embargo holding it up.
