There is alot of apparent poverty over there, but that is not OUR problem. What is our problem is making a big enough noise to get the government to treat their people better. How do we do it? Blackmail of course! The government is greedy, like every despot in the world, money talks. If & when they show that they are treating their people better, then the embargo will be lifted, & not because a few uncaring Yanks want to spend their vacation there, or have direct access to quality cigars, they must prove themselves & show proof of their doings. By pumping money into any 3rd world country does not fix the problem, it just magnifies it. Let the Yanks go there with all their free $$$'s & watch the Cubans fleece them, that's OK, I have found that most American tourists have nothing to offer whichever country they decide to spend their money in, other than their money! Hey! maybe we should fear for the Cubans if the Yanks are ever allowed to holiday there!!!!!

No resources, and Cuba has to struggle along with the minimal natural wealth it posesses. I don't think Castro's cuba will fall like some of you would hope, but time will tell. America has done a lot of wrong to many nations, and that is why they are the way they are today. I personally think Cuba is no exception, albeit, the nature of the regime is appallingly disrespecting of human rights. The US has been a major impediment to Cuba’s economic growth.

Right now, without it, the US is the 4th trading partner with Cuba. During the "harsh" years of the embargo, Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico, and many others traded with Cuba, the limit was that of credit. It is Cuba's Castrism that cannot afford a sudden lifting of the, again, so-called embargo. Totalitarian regimes like those gripping Cuba, must have a pivot of hate. The Yankee Imperialism has been it for over half a century. Without this pillar of hate, Castro's Cuba perishes. Yes, please lift the so-called trade embargo.

Chris: "Why should the US be the one to say sorry? Thats what lifting the embargo would say." Not really. It shows maturity and willingness to fix things. Look at Germany after WWII, are they trying to nazify the USA? The Marshall Plan, American investors and tourists have helped to create the Germany of today. 19. Chris:
