'<br /><br />While a handful of Cubans may benefit from US tourism/takeover, the majority of people will not. They will become 3rd class citizens in their own country. Gone will be Cuba's excellent systems of free healthcare and education, agricultural land, resources, etc., - that they will have to sign away in exchange for loans from the IMF and World Bank. <br /><br />My heart aches.<br /><br />WendyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
