Why should I care about or be concerned about Cuba?

Only one reason really......geography. Our economic power is largely derived from the Mississippi River System. Cuba is in a position to partner with outside powers who could render it worthless if they brought enough naval power to close the Yucatan and Florida Straits. We'd kick the shite out of Cuba and their friends before we'd let that happen though.
