Jimmy Carter in Cuba


President Jimmy Carter is currently visiting Cuba, and as the article suggests, possibly going on a diplomatic mission to rescue an American that was sentenced to 15 years in jail. I think there is a good chance that Carter will be successful in helping the prisoner. What I am unsure of is what this will mean for Cuba-US relations. Raul Castro has been much more receptive to the United States, than his brother was. I wonder if this could be the start of something bigger or simply a blip on the radar.
