First off, the WHOLE COUNTRY did not support the Revolution in the 50's. My Dad LEFT CUBA, because he did not support the revolution. So did thousands of other Cubans who left the country. A ruthless dictatorship was taking over the country, and it was scary for many people who had worked hard for what they owned and the government was going to take it all away for themselves.

You can do business with the WHOLE WORLD, EXCEPT the United States and the whole country is dirt poor.

Are there tensions when Rich Canadians or Rich Europeans visit Cuba ?? They have money in their pockets too...

There was a College exchange program in the nineties that brought hundreds of students to the Island capital. The program allowed the interaction of American students with Cuban culture and teaching procedures. This exchange program was shut down by the Cuban authorities because it started to create discomfort between the Cuban students, in part and mostly, because of the harsh economic situation. The presence of this Americans with not such worries as food and clothing was bothering everyone, nice clothes, money in their pockets, the freedom to grab a cab or have a drink at a local bar. In other words, just lifting the travel restrictions for Americans I think would take care of the transition. The revolution in the 50s was supported by the whole country. I f the Cuban people wants change, they can make it happen, the just need a little motivation, and the long term lack of everything has worked their minds to the point of giving up fight in the majority, just a little kick is needed. The embargo only affects the Cuban people, not the Cuban rulers or regime, it proved the opposite. I wonder what excuse could the regime over there use f=if there was no embargo for the last 50 years for all the economical failures.

I've lived here for 4 years now. Born and raised in Havana, left Cuba in 2001. Help the Cuban people, lift the embargo. It will also help the economy here.
