Those sanctions hurt the Cuban people, just like the sancions against Iraq decimated the population there. The U.S administration doesn't give a crap about the people who will potentially die as a result of their actions...

No they don't. They do that sometimes but there are plenty of people who enjoy the jackboot.

It HAS to be more than this. Que bono? Who is the special interest group that benefits from keeping Cuba under sanctions, other than Fidel Castro?

Very true BCPV!

OTOH, everybody else, besides US citizens, or non-US citizens residents in the US, can currently enjoy Cuban cigars at a much cheaper prices than they will be as soon as the embargo is lifted. I think I have enough cubans for the rest of my life, as well as for friends! I have been stocking up, they are just so far superior to anything else! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I will dig up references but I recall populations on isolated islands in the pre-industrial era that were ruled by monarchs. No possibility of outside threats there.

If a majority of cuban citizens were dying every day because of the "evil" U.S. that you ninnys always like to portray. Then they would have risen up and got rid of that jerk off castro a long time ago. Set up some pro U.S. donkey and Prosperity would return to Cuba.

Don't blame the U.S. for the cowardice of the iraqi and Cuban populations

This is very reasonable. At the level of suffering 1 suffering unit below the boiling point, who the [censored] cares about them, amirite?

BTW the ACist argument against the embargo has little to do with helping any poor Cubans. Basically, I want some Cuban cigars so mind your own [censored] business. Its just the sissy caring part of us that makes us care about the poor Cubans.

Monarchy != "tyrannical regime".

Totalitarian dictatorship is much more closely aligned with democracy than monarchy.

What a complete and total douchemonkey. Who the [censored] does he think those sanctions hurt? Castro in his palace? Does Castro go without? I think [censored] not.

Who still buys into this economic sanctions bull [censored] anymore?

Never have, never will. Castro would've been gone long ago had we just traded with Cuba from the start.
