On the eve of President Obama's visit to what once was the Republic of Cuba and The Pearl of the Caribbean, the media is already speculating "how will Cuba keep its identity while opening up to the world"


Cuba always had an identity until Fidel destroyed it and imposed a Marxist-Leninist dictatorship. Before Fidel, Cuba always belonged to Cubans.  Here we go again.  The world's obsession with Cuba, once again, leads to all kinds of misconceptions.  Obviously all these so called journalists have not read true Cuban history. 


Cuba always, always belonged to the Cuban people.  Cuba Libre!
