US Senate Set to Finally Rejoin First World, End Cuba Travel Ban…………..
“A bipartisan pair of senators said Thursday they have the votes in the Senate to lift the longstanding U.S. ban on travel to Cuba. Sens. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) and Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) said they believe they have the 60 votes necessary to overcome a filibuster and lift the travel ban to the communist-held nation south of Florida.

Come to think of it, it probably is the only country in any world that bans travel to Cuba.
