The embargo has been a failure... we hate cuba for communism let china freely trade with us. Its time to drop this epic foreign policy failure and begin proper communication. |

Obama won't do that, he's been pretty hardline at foreign policy issues like Iran, North Korea and on Terrorism. We're the only country who has this embargo... Raul ain't going to live for very long and if we open communication we can get things done in the long term for Cuba and US relations and the cuban government. |

I am not concerned with the ending of the embargo. I think that we should be cultivating trading partners. Besides, I hate to see my Cuban Cigar smoking friends having to go to Toronto for them. But obie has a history of apologizing for things that he should not be apologizing for. |

Sometimes but not in this case. You tell the Cubans that the world has changed & so has our foreign policy. We now welcome the opportunity to trade with them and we move on. |

I'm one of the few conservatives who thinks the embargo should be lifted. We trade with countries as bad or worse than Cuba, like China and Vietnam. Lift the embargo and Cuba will be flooded with friendly middle-class American tourists again.But I sometimes think the Castro Brothers love the embargo. It lets them blame the US for their 50-year communist economic disaster. The last thing they want are planeloads full of Americans with iPhones, iPods and laptops mingling with the Cuban people. NYC is only about 4 hours away from Havana by air. |

Yes, but think of the treasure trove of vintage American automobiles and parts that could effect the "CLASSIC CAR" market.Then there is railfanning to Hershey on trolleys, interurbans and other electrics. |

I agree completely. The embargo is the stupidest part of American foreign policy. If we can trade with China, and the middle eastern nations that treat women like crap, we can trade with Cuba. The major issue is that the ex-Cubans in South Slorida are a major voting bloc that nobody wants to dare piss off. |

Unilaterally end the embargo and travel ban. Make a deal with a neutral nation to provide consular services for Americans in Cuba rather than reopening relations. See what happens next. |
