Last week I was
watching 'Thirteen Days' - a movie about Cuban missile crisis and its handling
by JFK and his team. Movie was good. It may be ironic that I watched the movie
at a time when Cuba - US relations are going through a rapprochement path. If
they truly reconcile, then it will mark an end of last remnants of Cold war era
political tensions.
Visiting Cuba and
accelerating reconciliation process may be the most important thing Obama did
during presidential term as far international relations are concerned.
Relationship is not going to change overnight; but it will certainly set a lot
of things in motion and eventually set the stage for full normalization.
Raul
Castro’s government also deserves appreciation for this new chapter in US-Cuba
relations. Let's hope for the best...
