True, but even if we had a 'non-engagement' policy, which didn't have any sanctions either, the Castro brothers would surely find some other external demon on which blame their self-inflicted lot. So I figure that's about even any way you cut it.
I'm not really against trade and diplomacy with Cuba, but in this international relationship, who's going to be the party that's going to gain the most? I really don't think that it's going to be the US. As such, then, Cuba needs to give some, such as releasing political prisoners, and other human rights issues, for example. Minimal cost, but something. Don't think that Obama's going to do that, or be able to do that.
i want to see a policy that actually does something good for the people who live in Cuba, and i see zero evidence that a continued embargo is going to accomplish that.
