OK, so that we keep the score straight here, you've now conceeded the fact that unlike you previously claimed, the embargo has been quite effective.

Fair enough?

We still have an embargo because Castro has yet to return one penny of what he stole from American citizens, we still have an embergo because CASTRO still talks about the destruction of the US, openly, and repeatedly (he bragged in May of 2001 that Cuba and Iraq would bring the US to its knees while visiting his cronies there. That was just a few months before 9/11), we still have an embargo because he still practices apartheid (not that it bothers the libs that go there, or you for that matter), and we still have an embargo so that we can contain him from making a bigger mess in Venezuela, Colombia, El Salvador, Peru, and Nicaragua.

Last but not least, because in spite of the best efforts of leftists in the USA, there are still some people here who believe that oppression is wrong, and that the US has a moral obligation to stand by its principles, and not prostitute them for a chance at a new Caribbean travel destination. When we travel and vacation in a country that uses its citizens as slave labor, we cheapen this nation.
