Cuba @ 50

CUBA AT 50:

A few days ago celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the Cuban Revolution and I had a few questions. Why is Cuba an enemy? Is it simply because they're a communist government? A communist government on our doorstep? I'm confused-why do we do business with China, but placed trade embargos on Cuba. Nixon of all people talked to China. The most PARANOID man to ever live in the oval office. We import tons of their products (try to find 10 things you own that aren't made in China) AND THEIR MONEY (they'll gladly take our debt). Which is why I'm a bit confused about why we don't talk to Cuba. Are they not profitable enough for us? They're no giant and hardly considered a threat. Hell, we even have relations with Vietnam.

It's a bit of a ramble but it's been on my mind...
