We make sure that they are crippled financially because that was supposed to get the people to rise up against Castro.
It hasn't worked in 50 years...but I guess we will just keep on bullying them until Casto and his brother are both dead.

i'm going with a Cuban friend, he told me a lot has changed already the last 1-2 years
people can now have private businesses, new cars are available, people can travel more
since this year he's allowed back in without any hassle - even though he's officially a "traitor" since he didn't return home after studying in Spain
but yeah, once the Castros die, a lot more will change. Thats why we're going now ;)
here's a pic from today from Havana
