[Desparado]

Here's a little story about the Embargo that has been completely erased by revisionism and poor journalism. A few months after Castro tricked the U.S. into helping him overthrow Batista, he showed his true colors by admitting he was aligned with the communists all along, and Nationalized all the American holdings in Cuba. This included a lot of land, homes, casinos, and wealth totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. He then threw all the Americans off the island. The US was rightly angered and the Legislature unanimously passed an Embargo on Cuba to force Castro to give back the American holdings. He could have ended the Embargo at any time during the last forty years by simply giving the Americans back their property. But it has been more profitable all these years to play the victim. And that's the real TRUTH!!!

Ain't it the truth. Another thing that is overlooked... Cuba has free trade with all countries of the world except the US. They shouldn't be affected by our embargo at all. Castro is a living lie...

Actually, after he came in, we gave humanitarian aid (money), then he turned and nationalized everything.
