Lol...Rubio is delusional. Cold War is over. His crew down in South Florida lost.
True,not sure he's American,wasn't he born in Canada ? if so he should mind his business.

Human rights are worth negotiating for. Obama gave away the upper hand for nothing.

Just saw him on CNN. Can't decide who seemed more insane Rubio or Cruz?

About time and stop the stupid wet foot/dry foot immigration stuff as well. When we received the professional/middle class they were first rate but nothing but garbage since and including Mariel.

1. The only people these sanctions hurt are the regular citizens. Do you really think the government officials aren't getting the stuff they want? Do you really believe government officials are standing in lines with the regular citizens for things like groceries? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationing_in_Cuba)

2. It's hard to control the message "evil Americans" when they begin interacting with them directly. This will negate much of the "fear control" held by the government.

3. Investment helps most economies and tends to trickle down through most economic classes.

I see that you are so lazy you can't even be bothered to Google that information, which pops up immediately.
