Why thawing relations with Cuba is bad: after enduring several generations under a system that left them poor but happy because nothing was expected of them other than subservience Cubans are ill suited to survive freedom; the goal of thawing relations must be to slowly unwind communism; once unwound from Marxy America will be left having to fix the mess that remains.
Of course it's possible that thawed relations may make it more likely that the communists survive, because of increase in trade, tourism etc etc and therefore good. May also make them less likely to get mixed up in some idiotic scheme with Chavez because they're less in need.
So thawing relations is good. Whatever keeps them a benign communist afterthought is good. I suppose a thaw in relations could do that - so never mind. But it does put Obama in tough spot with Cubans in Florida when he has to explain that his conciliation initiative is about keeping the commies in power. Which brings us back to purpose is to slowly unwind communism - which brings us back to a thaw is bad.
I'm gonna have to pass on this one.
