End Boycott of Cuba: An Idea Whose Time Has Come
 
Children are dying for lack of proper medical care and needed
medicines due to the United States 40 year boycott of Cuba. Haven't we
killed enough? Have you no shame America? Based upon the historical
record the answer is a resounding NO! How sad.

For a change I can almost agree with you on this one. The only
thing is that Cuba has better healthcare than the US does, and it's
free! They also have a higher literacy rate than the US does. And all
that in spite of our format trade boycott.

I agree that it's truly warped to refuse to trade with Cuba and then
point to their "third-rate" economy. If we really want to see change
there, we should extend the hand of (business) friendship and trade
with them.

But if we trade with them we'd have to import their sugarcane, which
would hurt many of the 'cane growers in Florida and elsewhere in the
South. And they lobby Congress while Cuba does not. Money is power,
after all.

I have to agree. Although I disagree that Cuban children are dying for lack
of medical care due to the US trade boycott. After all, Cuba can trade with
countries other than the US after all.

I look forward to the day when I can smoke a genuine Cuban cigar. Not that
I'm a big cigar smoker, but it would be nice to have the freedom to do
that... stupid thinking that Cuban cigars are so evil they must be illegal
in this country.

Frankly Mr. Goldfeller, the USA is not the only country in the world
that Cuba can purchase from. So don't even try blaming their problems on
the "USA".

You really need to back off and check your own country.
