Americans are prohibited by the US government to travel to Cuba or buy anything from Cuba like cigars, we would be breaking the law if we do. Same goes for North Korea, we can't travel or buy anything from there.
Is this really freedom?
The US has also done numerous assassination attempts to kill Fidel Castro,the US has tried from using explosive cigars to using poison.
Cuba has good to very close political relations with all of the countries in the continent of America (including Canada)except for the US
and you guys call Fidel "evil"? maybe you should look in the mirror to see true evil.

I suspect it is because Cuba would be litterally overrun with americans - buying cheap drugs and having free health care

Yes, it is part of the price of freedom. Every right and freedom we enjoy comes with responsibility. If our duly elected representatives have imposed an sanction on a foreign country that prohibits doing business or travel, we must respect that it is in the best interest of our country to obey that law.

You CAN travel to Cuba BUT if you do, then they will try to nail you to please the Cubanazos in Miami and keep the Republican vote.
Cubans don't have a problem
If you are a Cuban-born non-Cuban citizen, you will need to apply for a visa at a Cuban Embassy. For all other North American and EEC citizens, traveling to Cuba as short-term visitors, you need a passport and the tourist cards that is issued with your plane ticket to Cuba. Cuba welcomes non-Cuban born U.S. tourists with no red tape.
It is legal for Americans to go to Cuba.
It is illegal for American to have transactions (spend money or receive gifts) in Cuba under most circumstances.
It is legal for American to have transactions (spend money or receive gifts) in Cuba if they have a "license", but the government is arbitrary about how it interprets its rule and who it issues licenses to.

seriously, where have you been? did you just find this out? our government (the democrats if i am not mistaken) put these restrictions in place... many years ago when your idol, Fidel, had a nuke pointing in the US's direction... I am curious if you have just realized this?
WOW.
Cuba does take defectors wanting to leave the states though... so you may want to jump on that boat over there.

You are wrong. You can go there. You can buy things. What you cannot do is bring those things back to America, and you cannot expect that when they imprison you because they feel like it, or hold you against your will, etc. You cannot expect the American govt to give a crap or lift one finger to help.

of course Cuba has good political relations with other countries. thats how dictators work. appearances are different from reality.
and to call America evil is just ignorant. we are the only country that saves countries from dictators, and other evils and doesnt try and take them over afterwards. in fact, we then help to rebuild the damage inflicted by the previous governent

So I gather that you've been to Miami and actually talked to the thousands of refuges that fled Castro's clutches and fought their way to freedom?
You must be young and very naive, betcha!

The travel and economic restrictions against Cuba are ancient holdovers of a bygone era. Why they haven't been reinstated has been a consistent failure of Washington for at least the last 20 years, if not longer.
