Now that Fidel Castro has retired as dictator of Cuba, it is time to open trade with the troubled Caribbean country. We already do tons of business with China, which is amongst the most repressive dictatorships in the world. Why not Cuba?
In fact we ought to send a trade mission there that would include cigar aficionado Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yes, we will need to be cautious, but European countries are already doing millions of dollars of business in Cuba, primarily in the travel sector.
It makes no sense to continue our embargo against Cuba. We could help speed Cubans to freedom by bringing the free marketplace to them. And imagine being able to buy Cuban cigars in our country!
Send in the Governator! Trade with Cuba can only benefit our sinking economy…
