America wants her freedom. In fact, America fought for freedom in several civil wars including World War I and II. Looking at this question, where is the freedom that America so valiantly fought for all these years? Why all of a sudden would the political parties censor Americans from traveling to Cuba or from traveling to any country they desire to see?

Its certainly not because Cuba's political position is in the wrong. Its not because Cubans will capture Americans without provocation. Its not because Cuba is a devastatingly harsh location to visit. American disagrees with Communism but that doesn't stop Americans from visiting Russia. They may be hesitant but America is trying at the very least? So why is Cuba condemned from the American tour guide list? There are so many speculations as to why America seems to be on a hate path to Cuba but they are mostly political issues. These issues should have nothing to do with people wanting to visit such a beautiful country.

Cuba has no unemployment. If you do not work then you are in school. Cuba has no rich nor poor. Cuba relies on brotherhood to get through this life. They have a better maternity care for mothers. All children have an education. Fidel Castro ensured that this country was going to be ran this way. Despite the American propaganda against the Cuban nation, this country is thriving and well ran. It is simply an ideal government that Americans seem to absolutely hate.

There are many others in America who do not agree with the political issues between these countries and want to have the ability to put this behind them. This is a power play that has been going on for long enough. Americans simply just want to visit new countries and learn about new cultures.

Cuba is beautiful and the prices are right for traveling. The history is immense and the culture is fascinating. Some of the cuisine is delicious and the people are very hospitable. Cuba is in fact not politically unstable as the government has been telling the public.

Every other country is permitted to travel to to Cuba because they do not have a strong hatred against the Cubans.

American citizens should not have to be tied to these demands simply because the government has an issue. This is childish. Its the same as telling your best friend not to hang out with 'Emma' because your best friend hates her. It is ridiculous. It is ridiculous that Americans can not travel to Cuba.
