The sustained embargo overt the years with the support of US Presidents from Kennedy to Reagan and Reagan to George W Bush has worked.
Way to go, old Piano Legs.
Cuba is right there, at the top of my list of pressing and critical national and world issues.
Keep looking, though; you might actually stumble onto something the majority of American citizens really care about.
I'll hold my breath.
