“That's a good point. What are we doing in China? We are engaging in talks, exchanging education and business. Doing things that show the people there what freedom is like. If Americans were free to travel to Cuba and mingle with Cubans instead of helping Castro to isolate them, that would make real change. When only one Country imposes an embargo it is only an expression of discontent without any hope of effecting change. http://tal

“If the Embargo is no longer or never been effective, what should we do as a nation (diplomatically, economically, etc) to express our discontent over continuing human rights abuses occurring at the hands of Cuban government?”

“Frosty? This is not a story about the relationship between U.S. and Cuba. It's a story about our failed efforts with Cuba. Cuba was not denying entrance for the Orchestra, the U.S. was denying travel to U.S. citizens. The embargo has not met its goals in 50 years. Let's keep trying the same thing for another 50 and hope for different results. What do they call that strategy? http://tal
