how can any body back the Cuban trade embargo when all it does is hurt the Cuban people?

Question

now when my dad was stationed in Cuba at Guantanamo bay i saw first hand what this trade embargo has done to the Cuban people. yes the fence is closed but we still had Cuban workers that would come to the base and work these people aren't as much running from Castro but because they were starving.

now before u say well Castro is evil when has that ever stopped us? we dealt with Saddam for 10 years after the war. we send food to Africa knowing that the war lords are going to take it. hell we knew Stalin was pure evil and yet we dealt with him on politics so why can't we with Cuba in fact Castro is dieing so he is no threat any more he has no backing from any one

Answer 1

The Cuban trade embargo only exists because the people have failed to reject communism. If they wanted to badly enough, they would rise up and overthrow their communist oppressors. Perhaps they need to live in misery for a while longer, until they have decided to do something about their situation. The ball is in their court, not ours.

That said, I would fully support US military action to liberate Cuba from the communists. But remember, JFK and the Democrats are the ones who failed to give proper support during the Bay of Pigs.

Answer 2

The only reason the U.S dealt with Stalin was because of WWII. Stalin got screwed by Hitler so he would've helped anyone to take Hitler down. When the war ended, so did the relationship. Personally I think the embargo with Cuba still stands because the Bay Of Pig/Cuban Missle Crisis incidents. There was so much CIA corruption in both of those incidents that I think the American people would question trades with Cuba, etc. Also, it would admitting that our goverment messed up and let's face it, our goverment never admits that.

Answer 3

lesson the embargo is not working because Cuban economy has highest growth in Latin America 12 .5 percent, its just the the American cant admit that their polities in the the world is not working not in Cuba not in Iraq. the Best way is that leave the others alone and mine your bus sines. Cuba will prevail and Fidel will live for ever. USA will never take Cuba,

Answer 4
