re: #54 Ming

Notwithstanding my earlier comment, I may agree with you. It may well be time to lift the embargo. I don’t have any particular connection with Cuba or Cuban Americans, so I have no ax to grind, but I always viewed the embargo as a very GOOD move in 1962, given the Cold War. It’s a nasty thing to say, but “it worked”. How much longer it should go on is a different question, and maybe it should have been lifted 10 years ago.

i have to disagree

i couldn’t tell you what it did to work except to drive fidel ever deeper into the arms of the CP USSR and further impoverish the ever suffering people of cuba
