Convenient.....and there are no innocent parties aside from the Cuban people.

I visited Cuba a few years ago. I know there is resentment there...especially by the younger generation. They want to prosper, and they really can't. There is not just poverty, but the city of Havana is crumbling, and people are living in squalor. They are not happy...but they are also not as sick and contaminated by capitalism and poor nutrition like in the USA.

Somehow, this embargo needs to be lifted. The people need to be able to enjoy an open society, but it is still under this phony communist illusion of government. It does not work...and it's obvious to everyone. They are such good people. Crime is negligible in Cuba. The people are as varied as anywhere in the world. They deserve better.
