So you think they will open up Cuba soon or...

There was a fair bit of money in Cuba too, at the time of the blockade, Cuba accounted for 5% of all US trade and like 40% of Florida exports were going to Cuba so it was pretty substantial.

My dad smokes cigars and he is obsessed with this topic as Cuban cigars will go down in price after this. He searches every day, spends as much time reading articles about the blockade as I do on here. Obama has been open about relaxing the Cuban laws and thinks that letting U.S. dollars into Cuba will work against the Castro regime, as it would make the citizens of Cuba less dependant on the Government.

I hope they do it, Cuba has some really good athletes. There was a fascinating article in Sports Illustrated shortly after Castro resigned about the sports in Cuba. Castro was a huge sports fan and knew he couldn't compete with capitalism when it came to guns and ammo, so he did it through his sports and it was through sports that he championed his beliefs. Castro never had a statue built of himself but always had posters printed out of him in a baseball uniform or him in boxing gloves, his favorite player ever was Joe DiMaggio I believe. I'll try to find the article, excellent read.
