the whole cuba embargo was just a piece of the failed policies of kennedy and his cronies

it should have been lifted years ago

Travel to Cuba should never have been prevented. Heck, even during the frostiest days of the cold war, you could go to the former Soviet Union. The Cubans didn't like Batista so they tossed him in favor of Castro. Oops. Oh, well, not all revolutions are as successful as ours was, but it WAS their revolution. They got what they fought for. It should have never been U.S. policy to attempt regime change in Cuba. I'm glad to see relations getting better. If it was BO's idea, then I'm man enough to admit he's doing something right.
