Yeah. Important to remember that while the embargo is dumb for practical reasons, Cuba is not the place that Che-worshipers pretend it is. The Castro regime is a joke excuse for a government. Clearly Obama hopes that opening ties will force them to clean up a bit. I'm skeptical, but it's a move toward lifting the embargo, maybe, which would be a good step. Of course, I'm not sure what the odds of that are, now.
