Raul Castro Wants To Begin Diplomatic Talks With U.S. Government.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/apr/17/raul-castro-barack-obama-cuba-america I view this as a positive developement. Cuba has also, in recent years implemented certain democratic social reforms. http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1736186,00.html I am hopefuly optimistic that Cuba will prove to be a democratic socialist republic someday, if it isn't already so. http://www.cuba-solidarity.org.uk/faq.htm Also I know that the stated eventual goal of Communism is a stateless, as well as classless, society. I do not know how the Communist party leaders propose to accomplish this feat. But it would certainly be nice I think to be able to live in such a society. Also I feel that the embargo should be lifted, as it serves no one, including the people of Cuba. We already trade with the Communist party ruled countries of China, and Vietnam. Greater access to outside goods, and influences would further open up the social system of Cuba to greater personal freedom, and financial prosperity. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/1988192.stm
