au contraire, mon frere. Check out this recent editorial

New federal legislation would allow American citizens to travel as freely to Cuba as they do to Canada and Mexico. The bills will need plenty of cosponsors and public support to get through Congress.
Among those welcoming the idea is Philadelphia-based urban planner and antique-car expert Rick Shnitzler. He has proposed a "taillight diplomacy" that would bring together the sleeping giant in U.S.-Cuban relations: old-car aficionados in both countries.
Shnitzler envisions antique-car buffs and their families traveling to Cuba, meeting their counterparts, and donating the spare parts needed to facilitate the repair and restoration of Cuba's aging fleet.
