3. President Obama promised dialogue with "rogue" nations.

We have ended the century long capitalist and neocon intervention in the Middle East and supported self-determination. We are working productively with Iran. We are establishing diplomatic relations with Cuba now. We have relationships with multiple 'socialist' countries, China and Vietnam included.

Granted, Ambassadors Franco and Rogen have run into a bump in the road (who knew the Supreme Leader had no sense of humor! - maybe comedy about Muhammad next?).

The people are the best ambassadors. We need to end the Congressional embargo, and have personal unfettered relations with the Cuban people.

Based on their success in South Florida, what lies ahead for the people of Cuba and our future together? We could be great friends, and learn much from interacting with each other! We are a progressive nation and export freedoms and liberties like no one else if we have the opportunity.

We are not perfect, but democracy is the path forward and we need to share it.
