WASHINGTON — High-level US diplomats have concluded that Cuba should no longer be designated a state sponsor of terrorism, raising the prospect that Secretary of State John F. Kerry could remove a major obstacle to restoring relations with the Cold War-era foe, government officials said.
Cuba no longer actively supports terrorist groups such as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as the FARC, or former members of Spain’s Basque Fatherland and Liberty, also known as the ETA, according to State Department findings.

Boat goat you are a doozie.
Apparently neither are North Korea and Iran as far as the Obama administrsation is concerned. North Korea tests a nuke again, Iran continues progress toward a nuke. Obama just wants to "negotiate" with them. The terrorist countries don't have a thing to worry about with Obama in office.
Remember the bit in the article about how it was George W Bush who took North Korea off the terrorist supporter list?
It is high time we have a sane policy towards Cuba. Hopefully, the agri states can put enough pressure on Obama to overcome the opposition from the Miami mafia.
Yeah and that stuff all started in 2008.
In my travels I've met with Canadians who go to Cuba all the time and love it. We can vacation in
Vietnam now where we lost 60,000 boys. I think the main holdup here is the Florida hispanics. As long as we have congressmen who fear doing the right thing because of various voting blocs we'll have situations like this.
What relationships with that bastion of world communism, Cuba? Oh wait I think Cuba is all by itself on that one. Yeah it would be nice if the US policy towards Cuba would catch up with the century we are in. It was always a stupid polity anyway that accomplished absolutely nothing. Besides, I could go for some Cuban cigars ar a reasonble price. Plus they ahve some great cars from the 50's still running I culd by or the parts I need for what I have.
did u mean that cancerous Venuzuelan guy that gives free oil to the needy and elderly? We have normal relations just about everyone we ever went to war with and although we never did go to war with cuba they are still the enemy
this article is pure propaganda. Cuba was never a threat to the US except in that it provided a model for fighting against the US's imperialist economic policies. The amerikan government attempted to invade Cuba, has repeatedly attempted to kill Cuban political leaders and has been trying to starve the Cuban people into submission through its economic sanctions. As to whether cuba is a repressive country, amerikan politicans don't seem to have any problems interacting with the saudi arabian government even though it is a crime to critize the so-called royal family. and where women are whipped for appearing in public without a male relative, not to mention beeing stoned to death for daring to have sex. And all this is not to mention that the greatest purveyor of terrorism in the world over the last 100 years is the US government.
