Personally, I can't believe we're going to open an embassy in a country which 58,220 Americans died fighting to keep free from Communism.

Torn.

Will kill them with kindness work? Or will we just be putting money (economic improvement, and I'm sure they will go on the US tit) back into a Communist dictator's coffers in order to continue to prop up the dictatorship?

Cuba has a dreadful human rights record. Here's the 2013 State Department report: LINK

(Of course, some of that report reads like it could be about our own government.)

Anyway, the normalization will help the US agriculture industry by provided another outlet for goods.

Good move. Free trade isn't a bad thing. No reason to keep from selling stuff to Cuba at this time.

the cigar industry probably doesn't like this much. Also LA sugar cane will flip its shite.

As for me personally, I'm ok with it because more cigars to choose from with less hassle.

We absolutely MUST do this. If shite continues to go south with Russia, you want to not be dealing with Russian military on the Cuban territory.

Necessary in today's world. I have no idea why it has not been done already.

We won't become communists by normalizing relations with Cuba. With Fidel in his last days, Cuba represents a potential market for our goods. Can't wait to take a vacation in Havana.

ETA: And cigars.

Free trade kills communism and dictatorships better than bombs or bullets.
