Why did we go to war in Iraq? Nobody has really explained that credibly. Our embargo of Cuba was spurred by Castro’s nationalization of US companies’ assets - we certainly have no problem with his Red Chinese brethren (who are even worse than him, and are “preferred trading partners”).

What war have “our” businesses ever lost money on?

Sorry, but our embargo of Cuba occurred when Castro declared his government as Communist aligned himself with the Soviet Union and harbored Soviet missiles 90 miles offshore in Cuba.Also an embargo is not a war. I have no problem with the US placing an embargo on nation that nationalizes the assets of US businesses as a means of convincing nation’s that their is a price to pay for kleptocracy.So I would not have a problem with embargoing Cuba if your fictitious reason was a reality.

12 years of continuous violation of the terms of the cease-fire agreement, among other things.
