5. Time for change, but a word of caution.

Changing our Cuba policy is way overdue. We need some smart leaders to stand up to the Miami-Cubans so that we can get things done. That said, i urge caution: yes people in Cuba are fed, but those speak against government policies are not fed; they are put in jail and many are never heard from again. And yes they have a low eco footprint, but that is because there isn't electricity for many. So....where does that lead us: in a place where we all need to recognize that our policy is bad and communism is bad. We need smart leaders who can stand up to the Miami-Cuban lobby, and develop a plan that helps Cubans economically while not turning a blind eye to the human rights of the people for whom we are morally obliged to speak.
