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.
