Freedom under foreign embargo, blockade and foreign repeated assassination attempts is different, depending on which side of the fence one is and size. Maybe americans will be free to fly or boat (directly) to Cuba in the future, like canadians and other nationalities?? More serious is that only US has not yet accepted payment for the nationalized property and why Cuba wasn't included on the Evil Axis?? Maybe there will be a time, now that Helms is almost retired, when the Helms-Burton Act will just be a strange blip in international law considering third nations. Might become a bigger blip if for example Canada and EU takes it WTO. Strange that this journalist forgot to either ask or report on all of this?? Ilmarinen Btw, has there been any arrests of Canadian, EU, etc managers in USA?? Or is the present idea to just try to forget all those acts?? Additionally really strange that canadians wouldn't remember all the fun Canada made out of the Act, even threatning to demand back what USA nationalized and starting court procedures on the north pole.
