Credit on Cuba

David Paul Brown, of The Paradise Post, gives Wally some love over his stance on travel to Cuba.

This has long been overdue. We've diplomatically dealt with, traded with and cozied up to, not only other communist countries, but also other unsavory figures like Castro for decades if we deemed it in our interests. We need to be able to visit Cuba, traveling legally from our shores vs. having to go there via Mexico or wherever. Cuban-American migrs need to be able to be able to visit loved ones in Cuba.

While most democracies and allies of ours have engaged in commerce, travel and cultural exchanges with Cuba for years, we've been too often been influenced by the anti-Castro Cuban vote, especially in Miami. I think a little good will could go along way in changing Cuba for the better and as the strongest nation an earth, what are we afraid of?
