Off topic, NASA has an incredible file on Sandy (click here) if anyone is interested.
Cuba received winds and rains from that hurricane. The rain fell in Cuba at a maximum of 40 mm or one and a half inches per hour.
The Cuban people are regularly in the path of such storms. They don't necessarily get loans from FEMA. They have to live the best they can and move forward to better repairs as the government can carry them out.
The Cuban people need an economy that brings them out of poverty and into a 21st century country of opportunity. The oppression by the USA to force Cuba to change their policies regarding prisoners and otherwise has not worked. The Cuban people do not have the power to change their country's path. It is time to get out of the way of unproductive policies and improve the opportunity for the people's quality of life.
I know there are issues. President Obama knows there are issues. As Americans we continue to work on them.
Below is a short film that shows the outcome of Hurricane Sandy and Sandy was mild for a hurricane when it hit Cuba. Do we really want to continue to punish the people for power they do not have? I think it is immoral to continue on that path.
The Republicans need to stop complaining and do something for the people of Cuba, including the people that live in Guantanamo.
