Forgive me for I don't understand your comments. Are the Americans free because they can travel anywhere? Or any other person, not Cuban?
Excuse me, I don't share your opinions. I am not in favour of the restrictions in my country but I don't see what democracy there is in the States for example. A President who cheated in the elections and has been missruling the country, taking it to the economic recession, attacking other countries over "some ghost nuclear weapons" (not over oil and power)? or interfering in other countries in the name of democracy? or even more now, "bugging" the communication system to know what the citizens talk.
On the contrary, Cuba has been helping other countries, not killing their people . Just check the news please, find how many countries Cuba has sent doctors, teachers, coaches, etc and then compare to how many soldiers the United States have sent to death for no reason. (this is not a personal attack to the US. just an example)
I don't see chains around me. Just because I need an invitation letter to travel, it does not mean that I am not free. Let's see, in Cuba children can play anywhere without their parents worrying to have them kidnapped, people can walk any time of the day or night without fear of an assault or anything else. Education and health care is free!!! oh, I think the list will be endless but I will bore you, so I won't continue.
Improvements, of course we need them, in the economy most of all. We need to open to investment and modify many things in our economic system and that is the change we need. Other changes, yes, we need them too but we do not want the "help" of the United States to change things. Stay in their own country and stop "helping" other countries in the name of democracy. I absolutely hope that Obama wins the elections and CHANGE can happen for them. BUT since a black man is not supposed to get to power (and if he does, then he's murdered), I don't see that CHANGE happening for them. Yes, democracy, absolutely...
And Mathias: thanks for your words...I totally agree that there's still a lot of work to do.
