- In Short: no
- With the US talking of lifting sanctions, nothing still has changed.
- President Obama has not allowed US citizens to travel to Cuba.
- This prevents families in the US to visit their families in Cuba.
- These are the same sentiments that were in effect during the cold war
- We want to normalize relations with Cuba and the US.
- Cuba will present to the UN a resolution to condemn the Cuban Blockade, and a majority celebrates that.

- The councils of defence ministries in South America have drawn up plans for defending the region from a similar attack to what has happened in Iraq.
- there are 5 american bases in Columbia.
- With the pretext of fighting drug trafficing, America could invade Central America for it's natural resources (gas, oil, water)
