Cuba Libre?

Don't order a box of Cohiba's yet, but Cuba is giving its citizens more freedoms on a daily basis.  At this rate, they will be the 51st state long before Puerto Rico, Israel, or anyone else who we give gobs of money to on a daily basis.  

Since Raul Castro took over for his sick brother, he has allowed Cubans to buy cell phones, stay in "foreigner" hotels, and now they will be given private land.  Private ownership of property is the hallmark of a free society and Cuba just took a big step in the right direction.  If this course continues, I would hope that when Obama is elected president, one of the first things he does is lift the sanctions/travel ban.

I hope that the ban is lifted soon with Cuba. By the way, Israel won't be a US state. They don't want it and most of America don't want it.
