Former South Florida congressional candidate Joe Garcia was one of Daniel Erikson’s interviewees for his book “The Cuba Wars.” Garcia, a former director of the Cuban American National Foundation, addressed America’s economic embargo and likened it to a religious experience for its hard-line adherents.
“Cuba is almost a quasi-religious issue,” said Garcia. “The problem with that religious element is that it can’t be tested because it has no give-and-take. The embargo is more a religious creed than an effective U.S. policy. The good thing about a creed is that you don’t have to prove it. The problem is, how do you change it?”
The embargo will be lifted to the dislike of some. Yet like all things in the US, a considerable market share emerges from lifting the ban, (11.5 million potential Cuban consumers.) Hence at that point the “creed” will reshape a new direction with further dislike from the very religious element.
claro pero debiamosd unirnos y protestar que mira como ahora mismo ya permiten ir a Cuba una vez al año y a mi esto me parece tan ridiculo que te digan cuando puedes ir a ver a tu familia? es el colmo del descaro pero ellos los empresarios de aqui si van cuando les da’ su real gana americana pues el teatro de la Feria de la Habana siempre estaba … Leer máslleno por los 90’s de norteamericanos haciendo negocios con Cuba y ahora se estan quitando la careta los muy caretus pero los comemierdas cubanos aguantando y esperando, jeje’, y enfermandose pues mi papa’ se murio’ sin ir mas a Cuba carajo y asi miles…
QUE YO IBA A LA FERIA DE LA HABANA Y LOS VEIA ALLI HACIENDO NEGOCIOS Y HACE AÑOS YA’ HIJOS DE PUTA QUE SON.
When the embargo is lifted, and it will be sooner or later, there will be an economic meltdown for those who are now trading with Cuba through Panama, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Spain and Venezuela among others. They just don’t want to share the pie.
