Nixon normalized relations with China and Clinton normalized relations with Vietnam. What's so special about Cuba? We never even fought a war against them.

Sorry the bay of pigs disagrees a with you, including all history books connected to reality. Now the far left programming may ignore such things, but that is nothing new for the far left who ignore Obama's illegal wars.
