- Cuba news activates werewolf moon watchers - 1 Update
Steve Marquardt <cubal...@gmail.com>: Dec 18 08:45AM -0600
Watching all the commentary about yesterday's announcement, I am reminded
of this classic quotation:
Wayne S. Smith, a former US diplomat who later was professor at Johns
Hopkins University, wrote some time ago in his *Portrait of Cuba*, "Cuba
seems to have the same effect upon American administrations that the full
moon used to have on werewolves."
Well, maybe not the *Obama* administration, as shown by very recent news,
but certainly in some corners of Congress.
Republicans do have a point about their hard line on Cuba: during the
recent half century of near total isolation, Cuba not invaded the USA.
That "isolation" did not keep Cuba from trading with dozens of nations
around the globe, nor from welcoming tourists from Canada, Mexico, Europe,
Japan, Australia, etc., etc.
