I don't have any bitterness against Florida Cubans at all. I think of them as the Freepers of Cuba who couldn't stand the stench of Communism. I'm glad to hear all that you said about them and I'm proud to have people like that here.

It surprises me though that their disgust with Castro and all the rottenness that he has done seems to be taken out largely against their homies in Cuba. There is no way that the average Cuban would not gain from gettingn rid of the embargo. I can't help but think that would be the best thing since the embargo has failed miserbly in hurting Castro. Our policy for and against other nations is all about what any one party can get away with before the other party starts to use it against them.

I agree that we sold out regarding Elian also.

Castro can trade with ANY NATION HE WANTS TO. I agree that the embargo has not helped to overthrow him, but the blame for the suffering of the Cubans is due to Castro's irrational economic policies, not the embargo. There are tons of Canadians, Germans, Spaniards, etc. who would love to invest more in Cuba, but cannot due to the Stalinist economy of Castro's Cuba.
