One Less Problem in U.S. Congress

The U.S. moved one step closer to ending the 50-year Cuban embargo with last month's retirement announcement of Republican congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart. In his words, "One of the achievements of which I am most proud was the codification, the writing into U.S. Law of the U.S. embargo on Castro".
The sheer mention of "Castro" in the quote is a hint of the congressman's personal hate that is entangled in this U.S. Law. The 17-year congressman has passionately lobbied for the release of Cuban exile terrorist Orlando Bosch in the 1976 airplane bombing. The congressman has also been affiliated with terrorist-related associations like CANF, whose members were involved in the failed 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion which prompted hatred for President Kennedy and his family. Now, with the concurrent retirement of congressman Patrick Kennedy representing the first time since 1962 that a Kennedy has not held office in Congress, Lincoln Diaz-Balart can retire.
The question is, will his brother Mario (also a congressman), continue to advocate as his brother did for naval blockade against Cuba, for defending Velentin Hernandez (who murdered a Cuba negotiator supporter), and for blocking negotiations such as President Carter's 2002 visit to Cuba?
With this hate obsession for Castro, one has to ask, what's this really about? Where does Lincoln's hate come from? Well here's the answer. Lincoln's father, a Cuban exile who died in 2005, was Cuba's Minister of Interior and was elected Senator but did not serve due to Castro's rise to power. Lincoln also has an aunt, her name is Mirta Diaz-Balart, Mirta who is herself a Cuban exile, just happens to be the first wife of Fidel Castro! Their son, Fidelito, has been fought over not too differently from the Elian Gonzalez 2002 custody case. Add to this motivational brew another ingredient, mainly that Castro confiscated Diaz-Balart property upon exile, and what you have here is, in short, one big family feud. Yeah, a family fued.
Hear this America: you have been duped! Take the estimated 800,000 Cuban exiles in Miami who hate Castro because it is the expected and publicized thing to do, well, their lopsided representation in Congress has sustained an embargo in opposition to the U.N. (the World), has widen U.S. trade imbalance, and has impeded U.S. economy in terms of export/import jobs. Imagine, less than 1% of U.S. population pushing around the other 99% all because of a family feud. Duped I tell you! It is clearly abuse of power, and America, you've been played like a fine violin. And to those hard-core Castro-hating dinosaurs in Miami: for the sake of your children...let go man, just let go and move on.
