I'm no fan of Castro (or of any dictator, friend or foe), but the past forty years have proven that US foreign policy toward Cuba has completely failed to bring Castro down. And yet we persist with the same failed policy. What a waste!

Even a casual observer would have realized that I was being SARCASTIC here! The point I was trying to make is that Cuban's are not at liberty to leave Cuba whenever they so choose. They are considered to be the property of the Cuban government. Exit visas are difficult to obtain.......hence the large number of Cuban citizens who wash up on the shores of south Florida every year. I get a little tired of people like you.....the blame America first crowd. There is only one person responsible for the situation in Cuba.....Fidel Castro. What excuse can be given now that the island has a booming tourist economy, along with foreign investment? The only person who benefits is Castro. I don't see where any of this has helped the Cuban people.
