More quotes by Mark Falcoff
Younger Cuban Americans who have decided to go to the island always come back telling me that isn't the country my grandparents have told me about.
Mark Falcoff
As long as Fidel Castro is alive we [the American Government] will not normalize relations with Cuba. We don't want it, and he certainly doesn't.
Mark Falcoff
Latin American countries are part of the West and that it is reasonable to expect a certain degree of openness in their societies that we do not demand of, say, China or Vietnam.
Mark Falcoff
Cuba will find its own way, regardless of what the U.S. wants. This has always been the case, not just since 1959.
Mark Falcoff
Most people who know Cuba think Raul [Castro] would like to make more changes but has not done so yet because his brother, who is ideologically opposed to them, is still alive. What he will do when Fidel dies remains to be seen.
Mark Falcoff
The Castro government is disproportionately white given the color of the island. It doesn't look like Cuba.
