It’s about time

To the editor:

There is some good news out of Washington. The Senate has introduce legislation, Senate Bill 491, and Senate Bill 299, bipartisan legislation which will lift the embargo on Cuba and restore travel. I hope this includes working with the Cuban government to make sure no harm is done to the fragile economy and to the people of Cuba.

Perhaps we can start to reverse the tragedy of some 54 years that should have never happened.

I would remind Americans that we should treat Cuba as we would want America treated. Cuba is not our doormat and not ours to take a piece of. I will also paraphrase President John Kennedy: Remember Cuba is not your little whore house 90 miles to your south.
