Personally I do not understand the hard grudge against Cuba. My girl friend met a car mechanic from Cuba temporarily living our country who really struggled to make a living and trying to ship home some money for their family. Yes communism is shit bad, that doesn't mean we should shield them from our culture and knowledge. I think opening up our culture to these countries as much as possible makes for the maximum possibility of influencing the local people to want change.

The other countries on that list I'm more skeptical too especially when they are not fully peaceful as knowledge can be miss used.

There's nothing wrong with communism. There's everything wrong with communist dictators for life. When one dude basically owns everything in the country, the country ceases to become communist.
