Christmas in Havana

Obama has opened an engagement with Cuba with the purpose of normalizing relations.  This is the most positive foreign policy move I have seen in decades and if you need a reason to open relations with Cuba then you show me only you have never seen Cubans dance.

This, in my view, is akin to  on Twitter.  An Australian saw a Muslim woman take off her headgear for fear of being attacked in retribution for the hostage incident in Sydney.  The Australian girl asked her not to take it off and told her I'll ride with you.  From that simple thing a movement was born.

There's nothing but goodness that comes from opening relations with Cuba just the same as when you ride with someone and talk with them.  Caribbean cruises are going to get a whole lot more interesting and it looks like Australia just got a whole lot cooler.

The only ones who might have reason to be annoyed by opening up with Cuba are people in Aruba.  As a vacation destination, Aruba is much more South where it's really not far from the coast of Venezuela. Cuba is much closer and bigger.  It was the party capital of the Caribbean once before and I'm sure they can get right back there again.



Any questions?
