U.S. Re-establishes Flights and Telecommunications With Cuba

The leftover United States-Cuban embargo of the Cold War has long been an inconvenience to both nations. While perhaps the aggressive nature of a social and economic embargo is necessary during the time of a seemingly-inevitable war, such restrictions do significantly more harm than benefit.

Now, however, the divide that once separated the neighbor-countries of Cuba and the United States are being lifted by Presidents Raul Castro and Barack Obama.

While U.S. citizens will still not be able to travel to Cuba as tourists, however they can under one of any twelve specialized visas. These visas include that of religious purpose, academic purpose, or cultural purpose.

Hopefully, in time, the people of America and the people of Cuba will be able to once again benefit from each other's culture. Naturally, there are naysayers to the new plan. Many believe that as long as Cuba is a Comminist country, we should not do any business with its citizens or government. These kinds of comments are best ignored. They blatantly ignore the reality that America's primary business partner is China, an extremely red state.

That's all I have to say today, but I'll be back tomorrow.
