Cuba: Let's try something different

Sen. Obama must be a brave man. Before even landing in Miami, he's talking about allowing Cuban-Americans to visit family and send remittances to the island without restricitons. In some circles here, that's heresy.
I grew up in a family that refuses to return to the homeland as long as the Castro brothers are in power. But I agree that such restrictions do nothing to undermine the Communist dictatorship. On the contrary, it fuels the egomania and paranoia that has kept Fidel in power.
I'm with Obama. Let's try something different. I'm convinced that a taste of democracy and capitalism will go farther than any embargo.
