It will be interesting to see what happens after Fidel goes, will the US keep saying, meet these conditions before we help/trade/allow tourists to visit you? I think US-Cuba relations will continue to be rocky no matter who is in charge over there. The key here is "after Castro leaves". Once Uncle Fidel is out, then how can anyone make an argument that Cuba "represents a risk to national security"? Even with Castro in power, such risk does not exist, it is just that he is an old fox that learned to play the tune that the US danced to, time and time again. [at the cost of bankrupting Cuba]. If level headed (non-extremist) leaders on both sides, who knows, maybe improved relationships would be possible. On the other hand.... Do we really want an extension of Miami into Cuba ? Maybe the paranoia will keep Cuba more "pristine" and the rehabilitation of Cuba will be a slower process. Perhaps for the better. The standard of living for Cubanos will improve, albeit slowly, without necessarily becoming yet another Caribbean resort community. Besides, maybe Cubanos are happier with less development. I do not know. Perhaps I will have the chance to visit Cuba before the craze sets in... (if ever).
