End the Cuba Embargo now

[AZ Criminal JD]

We have had an embargo against Cuba for almost 50 years. It has outlasted four Democratic presidents and five Republican presidents. Now that Castro has left power we should you that as an excuse to finally end the embargo. Cuba is a beautiful country with very friendly people. I was there in the mid-1990s. I was on my own and went around the whole island. We should put pressure on our nominee to commit to end the embargo. Every other country trades with Cuba and every other country allows their people to travel there. Our companies are being denied economic opportunities and our people are being denied the right to travel.

3. Perhaps we could expand NAFTA to include Cuba

4. The US gov't will wait until Castro is dead -- so he can't have any satisfaction

Its silly, but thats the way I think it will happen.
