Jay Z and Beyonce in Cube - Rubio disapproves



Jay Z heading to Cuba; I have mixed feelings about this.  In part, I don’t think we should have restrictions against Cuba, in our on-going struggle against their regime nothing good has been produced.  Our conflict with them is out dated.  In this article Rubio criticizes Jay Z and his wife Beyonce for going to Cube and for wearing Che Guevara clothing.  Yes, Che Guevara was a so called “murderer” but it was also war.  For all we know if we had not interfered with their way of government things would turn out fine.  In the same way the US takes the stance that the Palestinians need to forgive the Jews for the wrong done to them we need to let go of our issues with Cuba.  I do not agree with the ways of Castro or Guevara but this being dully noted I do not believe their actions to be those of greed, I think that at the time they believed what they were doing was the correct action.  I believe that their public persception was hijacked by our fear of communism and our issues with the USSR at the time.  We say that the regime is oppressing its people, but it is also the US oppressing the people of Cuba because of our policies.  Even within communist countries that are successful there is a cycle or process that leads naturally leads to some capitalism we only need to look at China and Russia to see examples of this.  Not to say that their way is perfect but neither is ours.
