Cuba May Not Change Even If Embargo Lifted.

MIAMI HERALD.COM.
``One of the greatest myths is that the day the embargo is lifted, it's Burger King time in Havana,'' said Washington, D.C., attorney Robert Muse, who represents European companies that do business in Cuba. ``That's just silly. You will not see much that is highly public or highly visible.''
But if trade sanctions first implemented by President Dwight Eisenhower 49 years ago were lifted today, experts say the results would be barely visible for the cash-strapped nation. If Cuba wanted franchise restaurants and chain stores, they would have them already from European firms.
