The cat's out of the bag...Fidel Castro is out as President of Cuba, and while the White House has no immediate plans to lift sanctions on the country, I can't help but wonder if Cuba would be the next place Bush would try to "spread democracy" a la Iraq if he had more time in office....So now I have to wonder how big of a policy issue will Cuba be for the rest of the campaign season? With Castro's brother Raul, who is a little friendlier to the West, taking the helm, one has to wonder if Cuba may actually experience a democratic movement...and what role the US will play in that happening.
I'm eager to see what the candidates' stance on Cuba will be...It's clear that communism isn't going to take hold in America anytime soon, so should we keep the sanctions we currently have, now that the "Red Scare" is long dead? Or does "new" leadership in Cuba mean a new day in Cuba-US relations?
I know I'll be watching over the next few weeks just to see what stance each of the candidates take towards the future of Cuba.
