"Waving U.S. and American flags"

We should have done this the day after the Soviet Union folded. Cuba pretty much relied on Soviet subsidies. (They bought a lot of their sugar at high prices, too.) It was unnecessary for us to continue an embargo.

Someone posted the comment below: "great news for the citizens of Cuba I hope the influx of money trickle down to the Common man and improve millions of Cuban lives I really do."

The only reason someone would write about such "hope" is they know the reality. That money goes to the Castros and their supporters, not to the "common man" who gets paid the same salary as every "common man" in Cuba --- except for the Castros and their supporters, that is.

That ends Canadians going to Cuba as their getaway now that Americans are coming. It's time for Canadians to move onto other islands in the Caribbean, preferably Turks and Caicos.

Cuba needs Capitalism and Mexico needs Communism

[Armando]

What proverbial "lens" are most Americans viewing this particular (Cuba and U.S.A.) situation in? And what proverbial "lens" are most Cubans viewing this particular (U.S.A. and Cuba) situation in? And what proverbial "lenses" do both governments want the "everyday" American and Cuban to view this particular (Cuba and U.S.A.) situation in?
