We can argue all day about the meaning of the word significant and so on, but I'll not continue with such literations. Deal with the issue and get your head out of the minutia.

There are dictators, kings, despots, and whatever in the world who have tortured, taken property, and picked there nose that we do business with regularly. becayuse we have a plan that includes accomplishing a greater good.

I suppose of Castro the III were king of Cuba you'd be arguicng from your senior's bed that we just have to continue the boycott. It's time to declare victory and change the approach which has been a failure for 41 years before they become a client state of another evil empire to the east.

What's been a failure?

The US has been very successful at not trading with Castro!

You keep arguing as if the supposed "embargo" was some sort of offensive foreign policy whose goal was to bring Castro down.

That's simply not true, that's Fidel's spin, and you seem to either be completely buying into it, or trying to sell it.

The boycott or "embargo" or whatever you wish to call the fact that the US does not trade with Cuba, is a direct result of Fidel Castro's illegal seizure/theft of billions of dollars of property owned by American corporations and citizens.

Your attempt to legitimize Mr. Castro's crimes against American citizens by rewarding him with access to the US market, and a way out of his current economical disaster via access to much needed (seldom honored) credit (all at the expense of the American taxpayer), is nothing more than a re-hash of all the usual propaganda from Fidel's useful idiots.
