I am confused. Are you in favor of continuing the policy of the previous de=
cades? That sure has worked out well.

Well Hap, we'll probably get in trouble for it, but I think bringing out th=

Avoiding being political, but just stating facts: The US embargo of Cuba ha=
s very little to do with the availability of consumer and car restoration g=
oods in Cuba. The reason Cubans do not have access to Healey parts is becau=
se 1) Cuba generates very little foreign exchange, and 2) the Cuban governm=
ent prevents its citizens from both generating and using foreign exchange. =
Cuban citizens don=E2=80=99t earn enough to buy and are prohibited from buy=
ing foreign goods direct. The UK, Canada, Australia, and Cuban nationals li=
ving in Mexico, Latin American countries and most others have the ability t=
o sell foreign made items to Cubans. But the Cubans don=E2=80=99t have enou=
gh money to buy and almost no foreign exchange capability and no permission=
to import. This is the result of the Cuban government policies, not the US=
=E2=80=99s mostly ineffectual embargo, we being practically the only countr=
y partially enforcing it.
=20
The Cuban Chrome program blames the US embargo for their difficulties. It a=
lso failed to reveal that the Cuban automobile enthusiasts depicted are amo=
ng the most economically successful Cubans outside the political class. I a=
ssume these distortions and half-truths were necessary to get Cuban governm=
ent permission to film. Most Cubans couldn=E2=80=99t even dream of restorin=
g a car, such as a Healey for fun. The parts prices paid for the green Pont=
iac each exceeded the average Cuban=E2=80=99s monthly gross wages.=20
