Its still a general travel ban on US citizens.

He said Friday, though, that he would lift only the ban on Cuba travel that is not ''pure tourism,'' suggesting that democracy efforts in Poland, Russia and China were aided by similar ``political travel.''

Political travel? :wtf:



Kerry says this,

Kerry said he would also lift the restriction on remittances to allow gifts to ''households and humanitarian institutions.'' Bush has restricted gifts to only ''immediate family members,'' but Kerry said the money can be a ''powerful tool'' to help Cubans on the island start small businesses ``and thereby gain a measure of autonomy.''

Then he says this...

`I think you want to begin a process that engages on a principled, measurable goal rather than just going to the Hemingway bar somewhere and spending some money.''

Does this make any sense? I thought that he wants to encourage small businesses.. like the Hemmingway bars and such in Cuba, which is a tourism economy.



A turd by another name is still a turd.

Kerry policy on Cuba:

Cuba will remain under US sanctions

We are still travel banned unless our travel is deemed politically worthy by US gov jackboots
