How about you and all your anti-Cuba buddies move to Texas, secede from the Union, and make your own embargo? Then the rest of us can be done with the Cold War.

I am personally not anti-Cuban but anti-Castro. Unless you count everybody who is against the Cuban gov same as being against the nation. Which would be typicall liberal and for left-wingers also.

Nationalizing property can be useful, depending on what is it you're trying to achieve.

Embargo of an entire nation who doesn't need you to survive it's kind of stupid.

Nationalizing property per se is not something bad, bud when you nationalise something than you have to give the money to the previous owners. Castros mafia state did not do that and that is the problem.

from American side the embargo on Cuba does not have any influence on our economy, but it do on the Cuban. It helped the Cuban opposition.

That is one unknown amid numerous successful apprehensions. The only thing the American embargo has done is Jack up prices on otherwise cheap cigars. In otherwords, a general failure. It has done nothing to destabilize the regime.

I've heard the Pope has acted as a mediator
Wednesday's announcements follow more than a year of secret talks in Canada and at the Vatican, directly involving Pope Francis.

You could say that.

The pope sent letters to both President Obama and Raul Castro to get together and talk. I am not sure why he thought it was necessary.

Maybe it's part of his efforts to help the poor, since the embargo is bad for the Cuban economy? Or just a general desire to promote peace and goodwill among mankind?

Perhaps, it could be also that he was looking at it and he, knowing what happened with John Paul II and Fidel (he was there when they both talked back in the 90s) he wanted to put his weight in as Latin American. If anything the Castros and the Vatican have not had a good relationship since Castro tried to implement state atheism, but the Vatican remained popular given the fact that the population is majorly Catholic.

Yes. The thing is that all American citizens left the island. some would even dare to call it etnical cleanings.

Kicking out the citizens of the nations that want you dead? I would call that being not a complete idiot.

From what I read in the media Pope Francis intiated the wholw thing by sending the letters. Just wanted to hear the opinion of NSG liberals.

Interestingly how nobody mentions it while there is often topics of the ebul Church.

I would say it has to do that his holliness comes from Latin America which is indeed a good step what ge did (becaise of his motives).

On other hand he neglects the bad conditions of Christians in Syria and Bosnia which is bad. Especially that he is suposed in good connection with the argentine Croats.

It is foolish to keep doing something that isn't obviously working, for 50 years, over and over and expect different results. That is what the embargo is. Foolish.

So what, you're mad because Canada and the EU don't blindly do what America does? They have no obligation not to trade with Cuba, not mention there's no reason for them not to trade with Cuba.

Can we just agree that this move at least is good on a foreign relations perspective to not make the United States look like sanctimonious pricks in Latin America? I mean, that's sort of what Francis has in mind, I'd think.

You have to remember the United States is being kept at arm's length by the Latin American nations in regards of Foreign Policy and hemispheric matters. This would only bolster our position in Latin America by proving we're willing to work with other nations politically, and not just economically. It's also a good thing at a security level, and Castro isn't getting out of the deal without a concession, so far there's already news he's going to open up the internet in Cuba.

A pope from Ghana would be nice. It'd put them in the map and be quite refreshing in the fact it'd break from the line of succession only being taken by the West.
