Once you figure out how to improve the lot of the common people without also propping up the government that is actually causing their lot to be so wretched, let me know, I'll be the first one to recommend you for a Nobel.

However, in the meantime, there are plenty of other poor Caribbean countries that could use my tourist dollar just as much as the Cubans could. Or is Cuba special somehow and deserves my money more than, say, St. Lucia?
