Castro says he wants Eli n back and the embargo dropped, but he doesn't really. If/when he gets Eli n back he becomes the ogre - no more drunk-on-alcohol dictator L zaro holding back Juan Miguel from raising his family, now it's drunk-on-power Fidel. He would be a lot better off if your law gave Eli n to L zaro forever, even better if one of those fanatics had killed the boy. Same reasoning for the embargo - clearly it hasn't worked, it's been fourty years now ... it gives him yet another excuse, an outside enemy to point at and blame. Who cares if he declares victory on its end, he declares victories weekly anyway. Doesn't matter - when the big bad USA resigns its position as his enemy, he loses. Dropping his excuse will not benefit cubanos economically by any great degree in the near term ... they do not benefit greatly from the trade that the entire rest of the planet does with Cuba ... it just eliminates one more excuse for him, and provides a better example ... if you truly believe in your liberty, go there, tread the ground, preach it by all means but mostly just live it. That works better.
