Fidel Castro

A big news item today is the resignation by Cuban leader Fidel Castro, whom many undoubtedly expected to only leave office upon dying.

I wish the best for the people of Cuba, and for their close neighbors to the north, as each nation maneuvers through this time of transition.

While the thought of the island as a tourism destination certainly is tantalizing, let's make sure we look at the whole picture as we move forward. I'm not saying to rule out opening up travel by any means (after all, I want the local food just as much as anyone, though I suppose I could get it in Miami now), but I'm thinking that there are many aspects to this relationship that need to remain in broad focus.

Your thoughts?
