I've heard that argument before.
The problem with that argument are the multiple examples of aide and money sidetracked into the waiting arms of dictators in Africa. No matter what your'e still dealing with a Dictatorship who has control over the resources and given Castro's many examples of human cruelty it would be hard to justify giving him more power in any form or fashion.
If you lift the embargo and peoples lives improve, does that mean that the human rights violations stop ? Will people be given the freedom to select their own style of government or even the power to speak freely without the chance of jail or execution ?
Absolutely. Cuba still takes in money from tourism, and it does not get to the people. At the same time-tourism is one of the few things that brings the island money-so the central powers dont diversify into other sources of income. This keeps infrastructure piss poor-so no foriegn investors will invest.
Its a **** hole, and American liberals dont use their heads.
