<<Here's a good summary of the background of the Cuba embargo and what *might" change in US-Cuba relations eventually>>

An ABC News poll last week, for instance, showed that by more than a 2-to-1 margin, Americans disapproved of the way the Cuban-American community has handled the Elian case. Other polls have similar findings.

I translate that as "there may very well be public support exists to terminate the embargo"

"It's the balance of intensity. And right now the lion's share of those who feel intensely about anything to do with Cuba are Cuban-Americans who oppose any sort of normalization."

True, so how can the people organize? The silent majority may think differently.

a bipartisan commission on Cuba that could give everyone political cover for making changes.

Well... may be not so silent.
