What's interesting or disgusting depending on your perspective is there is no answer to the question "what's the point?". Why normalize relations? Why now? Whether they should have been down or what the issues were is not really the point. The point is, what has Cuba done to show that does not violate the rights of it's people? What has Cuba done to demonstrate that anything has changed since these policies were implemented so many years ago? Or is this another feel good move by our President... To go ahead and treat them as if they have changed/improved in the hopes that by doing that maybe they will... It's one thing to question a policy or even call for discussion but to just change it wholeheartedly at the drop of a hat.. Doesn't make sense to me...
