MSNBC repots tonight (Laurence O'Donnell) that it is "Time to lift the Cuban Embargo". They rationalize that it "kept Castro in power since Castro could claim that the USA was "bad"". Of course the most "sensible argument" is that there is no ban on China, why make a ban on Cuba?
The reality is that the Cubans threatened the USA with annihilation under Castro in the 1960s by a nuclear strike and the capacity for Castro to get credit for his term in office is not the mainstay of human diplomacy in light of his aggression. It would take a lot more and I am not thinking we should lift any Embargo until Fidel Castro is buried and perhaps his brother as well.
