2. Understand that the US sanctions are designed to undermine/destroy Cuba's economy.

Then, both Dems and Repukes alike blame Cuba's gov't for creating an impoverished country - (btw, a poor nation that has pretty good universal health care and education). I see that blame the victim BS here too.

For some reason, the logic is: regular everyday Cuban have a dictatorship that causes suffering ... the US solution? ... to collectively punish regular everyday Cubans - most of whom were born after the 1959 Revolution - and cause more suffering.

How does anyone think that will "bring Cubans into the fold"? If anything, it does the opposite.

Btw, I should mention that I am a Cuban-American in Miami - and we don't all think alike ... as usual, the ultra right wingnuts get the media's attention, and real news of what is going on in Cuba is essentially blacked-out.
