Money drives new approach to Cuba

Thank you for your objective coverage of the ever-changing news about travel to my homeland, Cuba. Your interviewing people who have differing opinions has been refreshing. Surely those who have been following these events have noticed two main observations:

1. Those who fled Cuba and the Castro brothers because they didn't agree with their socialistic ways have no desire for the embargo to be lifted or for travel to Cuba be made easier. Those who put them in power and have recently fled for a better life in the United States are the ones clamoring to visit. If it's that great and they miss it that much, let me be the first to help them pack.

2. The new political fervor to "improve" relations with Cuba is driven by the almighty dollar and not by a sincere desire to benefit the plight of the Cuban people.
