“There’s a little thing called “liberty” that I take very seriously. We aren’t at a state of war with Cuba, and as such, travel by US citizens shouldn’t be restricted, at all.”

Exactly. Not acceptable in the land of the free.

Not to mention, they don’t work. 50 years of sanctions and travel restrictions have not prevented Fidel from being one of the longest reigning dictators in world history.

I went to Myanmar ten years ago for a three week visit. The people there told me over and over again that travel restrictions on tourists did not hurt the military dictatorship because they were at the top and always had plenty, but the losses from tourists staying away were a real disaster for the poor people of Myanmar.
