A real president will lower it and invite them into our so-called democracy. But as politics go, the more things change (death of Castro), the more they stay the same (nad-less Presidents lacking guts to lower the embargo).
If you want real worries, look to Russia. That country is quickly turning rogue starting first with Putin.

I tend to agree with you about Russia. It is still the only other super-power that can actually pose a threat to us. However, since Mr. Bush has "looked the man in his eye" and probably saw Putin's very soul we really don't need to be concerned. Right?
But as long as we allow China to stockplie our dollars we are inviting economic disaster. China's policy has been very purposeful and direct. Just imagine if the situation was reversed and China held all the cash and some other nation was sending billions of dollars of goods into China. Those guys would put a stop to it in 15 minutes and not even offer a reason!
