Is It Time For Change in Cuba?

This morning I had the opportunity to participate in a survey to express my views about the changes to possibly effect the relationship between the United States and Cuba. My spouse is Cuban, he arrived in this country when he was only a few years old. His parents have shared beautiful stories about their lives in Cuba before Fidel Castro took over. They also shared the stories of their loves ones who remained behind and the hardships they have endured there.

I think it's definitely time for a change, what the best changes would be, I can't be certain, I do know the people of Cuba have suffered enough and if the United States can make any person's life better, they should.

Are diplomatic and economic ties with Cuba the right thing for the U.S.? Obama and supporters say "Yes"; some Cuban-Americans say "No". Broad economic sanctions against Cuba have been in place since 1962, with the original goal being to bring down Fidel Castro's Marxist regime. Has that goal been met? Is it time to change?



The picture is one of many, I found of Old Havana. Get in on the conversation and share your thoughts about future relationships between the United States and Cuba.
