There's no embargo of Cuba. Any other country in the world could invest in Cuba. They don't because smart money isn't going to flow to a corrupt Communist dictatorship. You'd have to be insane to invest there. So yes, I agree our ban on investing there is unnecessary and accomplishing nothing (except maybe protecting insane people with money)

In return many cuban Tourists once things start to move would be able to go to the US.

They don't have enough money to buy meat. How could they afford to vacation in the US?

Well, it is a great tourist destination,

Ichy, Castro has been running a slave-pen in Cuba for 50 years.

Frankly, I have to agree, it is very difficult for me to understand how our one nation isolation of Cuba has accomplished much, but living in S. Fla. I have to tell you its a VERY touchy subject. Most Cubans I know hate Castro with a passion and rightly or wrongly are not in favor of normalizing relations with him. jdn
