Hellooo.
Posted big time up there. Someone, please debate?
I don't despite American's as it may have sounded (I have much more than an American in me than many Americans I have known in a six year American experience...
I just really wonder what would be so of interest for Americans to discuss the Cuba issue before the international eyes.
Regarding opening up its trading market:
Is it because of its economic interets? (?? which are exactly...........)
Or is it only to conquer its goal of inducing them (Cuba) into the capitalism way of life?
At this point in history, why is it so important to impose the capitalism in Cuba and stop its ideal of socialism? The United States promoted socialism in Cuba in a certain way by boycotting its international trading in the late sixties. They cut them off of its oil suppliers and weakened their sugar international business. And this is all because Cuba wanted to reach their social and economic development independ of them Americans. Who else could they have turned to? Communist markets, simply.
Ok... The United States didn't want Cuba to spread its socialism ideals into the American financed dictating Latin American's (stick with capitalism!) regime at that point, of course. They still don't want these ideals to be spread. "It ain't no business".
Than open up their markets already!
Good article, really. It serves to a great International Relations discussion.
PS: Does anybody else here work with international trade, by the way?
I'm Juliana. Please to meet, ya'll.
