Yes, because opening up Cuba to America tourists and influeunce will break down the ecomonic and soical barriers of cuba. Why do we trade and do business with China, but not Cuba it does not make logical sense. Cuba would change a lot faster with American tourists and visitors visting than would China, because of the distance factor. The embargo was a poor policy discision now 45 years later, and the pay of pigs invasion in 1961 hurt any chance of having contact with Cuba.

US and Cuba had best relations in the past.....until Castro put Missile Silos on Cuba, aiming at the US. The Cuban Missile Crisis.
P.S., there is a Embargo against Cuba, Until Castro is no longer leader of Cuba, you cannot have anything thats Cuban. Alot of people have Cuban Cigar, but thats illeagal to have in the US. Thats why US never have anything from Cuba.

Lets see, you are best friends with Russia most of the time, you openly deal with China, you forgave Vietnam, and then you have Mexico which has never been a democracy, corrupted with you name it besides the illegals coming across the border and you want to put the squeeze on Cuba? That makes a lot of sense. American Politicians. Nothing has changed for almost 60 years and for what....

Yes! That is not to justify their political or economic system as I am whole-heartedly against both. Our embargo with Cuba has clearly failed to give us the leverage it was intended to bring. The embargo hurts the average Cuban. The embargo is a slap in the face to free trade which generates the greatest overall economic benefit, and denies us the enjoyment of their products (e.g. Cuban Cigars). Lastly, the embargo restricts the rights of American Citizens--I'm not permitted to travel there even on my Canadian passport without facing criminal charges on my return to the states.
Our embargo simply doesn't serve any purpose other than stubborness.

I just find it odd that there is a big rush to maintain ties with other communist countries like China and North Korea, but Cuba is left out in the cold with no or little diplomatic relations. I cannot believe that the US is more afraid of Cuba then China or North Korea. I think it is time to stop bullying that country...they are no threat.

We should because it is in the best interest of many American citizens. We have a huge Cuban American population. If Castro is out of the picture many families can reunite. It would be something like the wall coming down.

Yes. When Fidel is dead, we should begin building Wal Mart, Target, McDonalds, Macy's, Hilton Hotels, etc in Havana. The Cuban people have suffered under tyranny and oppression for decades. They too, should be able to taste the blessings of freedom.
Plus, then we can get good cigars again.

No, and Cuba must make the effort, not America.

Yes we should. The embargo against the people of Cuba was another error of the Bush Dynasty perpetrated by daddy bush
