Its Obama. Not Castro. Don't Get Too Excited.

I got a comment from a guy I know , "Isn't it amazing that Cuba us opening up even faster than we thought."
I replied that he got it wrong - Cuba isn't opening up, the USA is. Obama is allowing Americans who have Cuban relatives to visit the place when they want and to send more money back.
So he's basically rolling back restrictions put in place by G.W. Bush.
Hardly a big concession.
I can imagine that the Castro's would be a little perturbed to get a taste of what they say they want.
Tens of thousands of Cubans will notice the difference, out of 11 million - one or two tenths of one percent.
There is no half way with the Castros - like a  cockcroach infestation - you have to get rid of every trace of them to be clear of them.
Substantial changes in the well being of Cubans will only come with a complete opening of doors to investors and a complete release of all the people from enslavement and with a complete elimination of the Castro regime.
They cannot, ever, while they draw a breath, to be fair dealers.
They are corrupt and cannot be trusted to follow through with a business deal as agreed to; regardless of what is promised. They will simply not hold up their end.
It will be a long time coming.
