OK, I admit it: I expected worse of this Computerworld article on Google and Cuba.

Said Computerworld article argues that Google is not going to be able to wire up Cuba for the Internet. When I saw that, I started to huff and mutter Well, of course not it’s not going to work right. Cuba is a totalitarian Communist dictatorship.  I wonder what excuse the author will use to avoid writing that.  And then, sure enough: the author gave his ‘explanation’…

The problem is that Cuba is a totalitarian Communist dictatorship.

…Oh.  Well, don’t I look foolish, now. I’m sorry for assuming the worst.

  1. I had to reread the piece a couple times to believe it. To his credit, the guy actually toured the place, ala’ Michael Totten, and saw the vast wasteland beyond the propaganda.
    .
    Shoulda just annexed the place when we had the chance.

        1. They can have Guantanamo back….
          If we get the rest of the island. It’s an even trade with the state of things.

          1. Don’t be so quick to give Guantanamo back. It has proven to be of some valve to have a base just offshore yet still not on US soil. Never know when we may need to exploit that feature again.

  2. Maybe we should give Puerto Rico their full independence, too. Just like Cuba and the Philippines.
