Too many people forget that Cuba is still communist, and they forget the Cuban Missile Crisis.

When Fidel dies, then we can lift the embargo. [/b][/quote]Ok, so they're communists? If it wasn't for communists (Stalin/USSR), we wouldn't have won World War II. Also, when Fidel dies, his brother will take over. -Pat [/b][/quote]Yes, they are communist, something that clashes with our ideals. Yes, we trade with China, but China isn't even communist anymore, they are just about as mixed as anybody in some cases.

You're giving the USSR a little too much credit as far as winning World War II. I won't deny they were strong allies, but they were also a tyrannical power.

And like I said, Fidel is the problem. He is the last of an old regime; he is anti-American, and until he decides to kick off, America will not (and should not) deal with Cuba.
