if i see a man stealing, i have a right to interfere. if i see a man beating a woman, i have a right to interfere. if i see a dictator oppressing a country for fifty years, i have a right to interfere. i have a duty to interfere. refusing to trade with such a monster is pretty much the bare minimum.

most of the arguments for leaving castro alone sound like rationalizations for cowardice.

We have as much business telling the Cuban people who they should have in power as we do telling the Iraqi people how to run their country.

let's look at the delusion at the heart of this statement. the cuban people have never had a free election. castro imposed a one party marxist dictatorship. the only clue we really have to what the cuban people want comes from those who've managed to escape the island prison. and they want the embargo.
