upon holding a grudge against Cuba in perpetuity. We have managed to make peace with Japan (Pearl Harbor), Viet Nam, Germany, China, and so on and so on. They need to get over it. I don't think that the bans against Cuba really work. And it is not like the Cuban "Americans" are going to vote Democrat because Florida seems to be willing to vote against their own self interests so the time has come to normalize our relationship with Cuba.

I would love to be able to visit Cuba.
