Reply #6: finally regaining lost ground from Pres. Carter's initiative

[ngant17]

when travel to Cuba by US citizens was momentarily permitted. And that was merely an attempt to revive JFK's reapproachment with Cuba before his untimely death.

But Raygun screwed up Carter's policy and all subsequent Presidents towed the line to appease the Miami exiles, the ones who abandoned the Cuban Revolution and more often than not actively aided and abetted terrorist attacks against Cuba.

The Miami brand of terrorism has always been officially sanctioned by Washington, both in words and in deeds. It could be stopped if there was any desire from the top, just like the Elian crisis was so quickly solved and those criminal kidnappers were shown what our government can and will do to prevent their shenanigans from escalating.

It's time for the US government to act a little more intelligent and a lot more responsible to Cuba, a victim of a half-century of imperialist aggression. Normalization is the first step.
