I could care less the rationale, the only rationale for me is that I get to see my family more often, without feeling like a criminal. <BR/><BR/>Real cubans living in cuba feel the same way, never met one Cuban living in Cuba for family visit travel restrictions. In fact, I would bet big $$ that virtually 99 percent of real cubans living in cuba are against us restrictions on family. The reason why this is important is b/c the hardliners frame their arguement as if they were 'for the cuban people'. But why then, do the real 'cuban people' feel so differently than you (old miami)?josenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851163370258594999.post-24071390622255586322009-04-06T10:45:00.000-04:002009-04-06T10:45:00.000-04:00Phil,Aren't you supposed to be wining and dining t...Phil,<BR/><BR/>Aren't you supposed to be wining and dining the Congressional Black Caucus in Havana and showing them a good time at Varadero?<BR/><BR/>What are you doing blogging?
