On or Off Cuba Ping.
Moreover, if communism had ever worked, no "economic war" against it would have any effect.
Funny when you consider Castro and his Communist goons never admit to their decades long domestic war upon the Cuban people and their freedom.

Would Komrade Rodriguez prefer another type of war? You know, the kind where we bomb the living HELL out of the target?
What more to want???
There is a simple solution to this conundrum. Get rid of Castro.
Why even bother going? The only reason to visit is to see what the world was like in the '50s.
I would love to visit Cuba. But only after Castro passes on. There are rumors that when the old man dies his son may move quickly to rebuild the bridges with the U.S. I have a particular fondness for Cuban jazz. Would love to take a peek at the island. Oh, well . . .
I didn't realize that many people went to Cuba to begin with. If I'd left Cuba, I'd be afraid to go back and visit family. And who are the "others" that go - besides Dan Rather and Les Moonves?

52 Chevies, great music, wonderful food, vacant beaches, cigars. I would retire there if I could strike a deal with Fidel to just let me drink, smoke 'gars and sit in the sun.
Cuba is not isolated from us, despite our lack of trade. It's 90 miles from us and thousands of very vocal Cuban exiles are in Florida. Different political landscapes.
Just go to New Orleans now. Same thing.
It keeps the Miami Cubans happy.
I'm sure it's a great place - or it would be if not for Castro. But who is going and how do they get in? Private yachts and planes? I'm sure you can't just show up in the harbor.

Medea Benjamin - famous Code Pinko wretch - sends groups to Cuba via her home-base org Global Exchange. Why are you not surprised?

Hey Cuba, getting hungry yet?
Like maybe some food or how about freedom?
Actually, you CAN just show up at the harbor in your boat. Marina Hemingway is a few miles west of Havana, and at anytime, you can see a number of US-flagged pleasure craft there. The Cubans welcome anyone with hard currency (read U S dollars).
