Rubio's Cuba

It's OK not to forget, and to remember. But M. Rubio has, it seems, a blinding ossessione. 

He'll not let anyone let Cuba go (or be). Nor will he let go of Cuba, and more specifically the aging folks who still run all the show in Havana -- after all these years. 

He must, after a fashion, destroy it. That one-dimensional country which lingers on in his mind (and yet which in so many eyes is much gone and in need of sympathy) which, he believes still, destroyed his (now much reconfigured) family and (wait!) his future.

Cuba must have no future he does not himself specifically, so to (hear him) speak, have a hand in and sanction. He who was so brutally denied one.
