3) The great Cuban Embargo was brought about by the American congress and President Kennedy to force Castro to give back all the American Property and Wealth that he Nationalized(i.e. stold) after he consolidated his power with our help. What the American people don't understand is that Castro could have ended the embargo at any time during the last 40 years by simply returning the Americans' property to them.

Not to mention he is still free to trade with the entire rest of the world. Communism doesn't fail miserably because one nation doesn't want to trade with you. It fails miserably because it just doesn't work. And seeing that it just doesn't work (as is plainly evident to anyone who's spent even 1 day in a Communist country), people who would continue to support such a system are simply evil.
