Question:
Americans, do you think that the US Embargo on Cuba should be ended?
2009-01-21 12:15:54 UTC
I hate communism and I think that Castro has brought ruin to his nation. The United States Embargo was supposed to put pressure on Cuba's Government but the irony is that it makes Cuba's innocent people suffer a lot. As an American, I feel that the Embargo should be ended. If we go there and show them the delights of capitalism, freedom and democracy that we enjoy here in the US, then it would definitely lure them to American ideologies. What do you think?

I additionally agree that the embargo ought to end. that's basically hurting the two facets that this embargo exists. We ought to end this embargo, re-open diplomatic family with Cuba regardless of their political ideals, and end the suffering.

Yes, I do... It's an antiquated policy. At this point it only points to a hypocrisy and double-standard in foreign policy when we have an embargo against Cuba, but not other countries that are ultimately much worse with regards to human rights, etc.

I think that the embargo should be ended but mostly because I want good cigars and I want to visit Havana. No they are not innocent I'm pretty sure that they support(ed) Castro and Che when they took over. Fulgencio Batista was a dictator but he was our (America's) dictator.

Yes.



But only to be replaced by one on Venezuela. Chavez is doing the same crap Castro was doing when Kennedy made the embargo stronger on Cuba than Eisenhower originally mandated.



Russian ICBM's on the mainland of Cuba in the 1960's... Russian Nuclear-armed Navy vessels doing excercises off the coast of Venezuela. SAME THING.

Yes



Too many have suffered too much for too long over two stubborn and flawed ideologies. Stop punishing people who weren't alive when the Bay of Pigs took place. Stop catering to those greedy fanatics in Miami who can't let go. And get me some real damned Cohibas.
