Cuba: The Beginning of the End of the Embargo?



I read the headline “Obama eases US Cuba travel rules” and I got very excited because the US trade embargo against Cuba is, in my opinion, a silly holdover from the Cold War. Then I was severely disappointed.
United States is going to allow Students and Religious Institutions to travel to Cuba. No learning about the history and culture of this Island nation in person for me, or enjoying a Cuban Cigar. As disappointed as I was I saw that at least this was a step in the right direction for Cuban/American relations in that, even though it isn’t now, someday relations will end the travel and trade restrictions against this nation.
