7. Castro has nothing to do with this
The people in Cuba are in absolute poverty because of this embargo. Virtually all women are forced into prostitution just to get money to eat. My best friend went there for school for two weeks and the poverty of the people astounded him. Most telling for him was when a woman with a baby in her arms asked him, 'How much will you pay to fuck me, I have to feed my baby.'

Lifting the embargo isn't about rewarding Castro, it's about allowing the Cuban people the opportunity to not have to be whores and hustlers to survive. That Dean would say lifting the embargo is rewarding Castro shows either how little understanding he has on the issue or how heartless he is, either way, bad show.
