All USA attempts to undermine Cuba have failed.
Their economy is continual growth, of aprox 10%.
Most other sensible nations are trading with Cuba.
China is very very active in trade with Cuba.
Canada is allowed to visit & smoke cigars.
USA cannot visit nor smoke a Cuban cigar.
Ask yourself: is this sensible or neighborly?
Ask yourself: is this global or more flat earth?

As long as Castro is in power, no President will open relations with Cuba. After the Cuban Missile Crises back in 1960's, sanctions were put in place not against Cuba, but against Castro. These sanctions will be upheld till a different leadership assumes power.

I was going to answer "Of course we can", until I saw the last two words of your main question, "under GWB". And of course, now the answer MUST be "No, we cannot".
Do you know why the US put sanctions on Cuba in the first place? Not because they embraced Communism, not because they installed Fidel Castro who usurped President Baptiste and not because Fidel who was once our Ally, so quickly became our "foe" (sound familiar).
We imposed sanctions on Cuba, because they confiscated all US business interests in Cuba; the tobacco farms, casinos, factories, etc. and tossed out the "capitalist exploiters of the Cuban worker".
American policy toward Cuba has forever since been, give the corporations back their businesses in Cuba and we will lift the sanctions, to which Cuba said, "Nope.", so here we sit, 45 years later.
I dunno, if we give it a couple more years, do ya think the sanctions will start working?

What has Bush got to do with it?
It was a Democrate, JFK, who was behind the "bay of pigs invasion" (the bay is really called that, I was not insulting Cubans) ...AND ... the Cuban embargo!
Bush is essentially a lame duck. As his dad always said "Stay the course"...that's all GWB will do now!

So the problems with US-Cuban relations started with Bush??? You prove that you are a blind ideologue with ignorant questions like this. The people of Cuba are by and large poor as dirt and live miserable lives which is why so many risk everything to take crappy rafts to Florida. Cuba's economy before the revolution was far superior to anything since.

You're an idiot. That's point one.
Point two: If you're sending this question from within the U.S., you should really consider not living here. There are plenty of Ameribasher countries who would welcome another NeoCrat with open arms. And, when you get there, please read a history book that was written here, and actually has some merit to it. Oh, and vote this for best answer. Good luck, you're gonna need it, dope.

As long as George Bush is the President there can be no hope of the US having a rational foreign policy. The US should be trading with Cuba. I don't see Cuba as any kind of threat.

It is a blow to US policy that Cuba has managed to survive for over 40 years without lifting the US embargo.
Cuba has proved that the US is not as powerful as it would like to be perceived as being.
George W. needs to blow some smoke into to air to try to disprove these facts.

I apologize for answering a question with a question , but...."Is it possible to have anything sensible under GWB?" Maybe using sensible and GWB in the same sentence is such a contradiction that I can not conceptualize the thought.

Which continent do you mean? North or South America? And which country in one of theese 2 continents called 'America'?
'America' for 'USA' is politically and geographically not correct.

It's not only possible; it's long over due.
I want to visit those beaches and eat that food.
First we need to agent-orange all those tobacco fields so that the stench of inconsiderate individuals and their disgusting habit will not make normal people, trying to enjoy a meal, want to retch!
