not only a demand for GMS, but also for bread and butter and salt and pepper — but since Cuba has no economy and the Cubans have no money and there is no free enterprise, the “Market” you are thinking about doesn’t exist.

Cuba is a concentration camp.

“Cuba is a concentration camp.”


So is Saudi Arabia (especially if you’re female). So was China.

I’m not sure what the embargo in Cuba is accomplishing. I know the Cubans live under an evil dictatorship and stole American assets. What I’m looking for is some coherent way to sort out why we trade with some evil dictatorships and not with others. I don’t see a sane pattern here. I’d like somebody to set forth a coherent policy on this.

Also, I don’t mind using “sticks” as a policy, but what if “carrots” may be more effective in influencing those countries toward greater freedom?
