Agree with Carlos, but then both of us have actual real life experience living under the "wonderful" communist/fascist/socialist/progressive regime and all that entails. Funny that those who argue for lifting of the embargo have never lived nor experienced great life under a tyrant and do not understand that self-appointed ruler gods would never want democracy nor reaching out from USA, just the money that would keep them in power. Cuba used be live better in the days of USSR, once those huge subsidies ended with the fall of USSR Cuba basically started falling apart.
The only way to deal with this is to starve the beast even more. Castro just allowed private business a la latter day Russia/China, if we starve them more people there will finally realize they can change things.
BTW, today Cuba announced that they will no longer subsidize locals' cigar buying and if they want to smoke cigars they would need to pay same prices outsiders do. Will be interesting to see how people of Cuba react to that.
