Right. They’re not “planning” to lift the embargo. It’ll happen during a spontaneous moment of bliss and warmth as Obama sings “Kumbaya”.

We must continue the embargo.

Cubans are the bad kind of Communists, the kind that do not finance our borrowing, like the Red Chinese. Until the Cubans submit and invest their reserves in American toxic paper and T-Bills, to heck with them!

They are planning to lift the constraints on trade and travel a step at a time, in step with some human-rights concessions on the part of the Cubans. They’re aware that the guard has been changing in Cuba.
