About time, really! For f*#k sake we have diplomatic relations with ..., no I will not enumerate the much more messed up countries, I mean they are not even in same universe as Cuba. This can do a lot of good. I, Darwin am thanking the Pope for his role in this.

Maybe I'll go back. I was there every year from my birth to 1957 as my Dad loved to vacation there. I only remember nice beaches.

Of course! I'm just urging caution if you do go, the security 'organs'
have not thrown in the towel.

30 years too late. This issue is another nail in the coffin of the Republican Party, Marco Rubio and a significant part of the GOP base are on the wrong side of history, again.

Lame-duck status can be a good thing.
This is good news in every respect. Cuba has hordes of well-educated people, doctors, etc..ready to move into 21st century roles.
NOW, congress - do your job for a change and end the embargo.

Great! Now we can All get back to whoreing and gambling off shore, and we won't have to go to Victoria to get our Cohibas.
Cane sugar will be cheap enough to put back into Classic Coke like it is in the stuff we get from Mexico.
Rum, don't forget rum.
And you will be able to get cheap medical proceedures with or without Obamacare, so the medical lobby won't be happy.
The plutocrats stand to do very well. They now have a place to stash their money without having to deal with Switzerland's negative interest rates.
The down side is the beaches will get crowded.
Oh, yeah...

Are Cubans allowed to leave now?
Or is Cuba still a prison nation?

"Ask again in five years."
There's a bail bond in San Bernardino whose billboard reads "I'll get you out if it takes twenty years".

Do we have to go back and edit our Cuba si, Yanquis no posts now?
The fourteen colonies.
El secretario de Estado norteamericano, John Kerry, pidió al Kremlin distender la crisis en la república autónoma ucraniana de Crimea y “devolver las tropas a los cuarteles” porque, si no lo hace, a Estados Unidos y a sus aliados no les quedará otra opción que “aislar política, diplomática y económicamente” a Rusia.
Desde Kiev, epicentro de las protestas que derivaron en la caída del presidente pro-ruso Victor Yanukovich y el asenso al poder al sector pro-occidental que puso en el poder a Arseni Yatseniuk pero que es liderado por Julia Timoshenko, el jefe de la diplomacia norteamericana volvió a condenar la “agresión” rusa por enviar tropas a Crimea y expresó su apoyo al actual gobierno ucraniano.
Kerry sostuvo que Rusia “está buscando crear un pretexto” para intervenir en Ucrania, subrayó que la crisis de ese país debe ser resulta por la vía diplomática y enfatizó que Estados Unidos “no quiere la confrontación. Luego anunció que la Casa Blanca está dispuesta a conceder un crédito de mil millones de dólares a Ucrania.
RUSIA NO ES CUBA MUCHACHOS SI PASA ESTO VAYAN BUSCANDO LA LLAVE DE LOS BUNKERS
First up for me is a trip down to get a couple of '57 chevys

Along with the Sony debacle this is a good day for ruthless dictators.
Typical of Liberals to see this as yet another opportunity to rip the U.S.
Unbelievable.
Get ready for the Castros to unlock the prisons as they did during the Carter years, and to export millions of uneducated,poor, government-dependent future Democrat voters, which the taxpayer will be on the hook for. Get ready.
If you have a boat then head for Cuba. This will be a cash cow for you in no time.
