Ending the embargo is long overdue and I'm sure it has effected the Cuban people but I think the amount of suffering from it is being vastly overstated particularly when taking into consideration the regime they live under. If it was even a remotely free country and still impoverished then I could see some validity in the argument but as is I think the finger of blame is much more appropriately pointed at their leadership over the last several decades. My interaction with Cubans over the years has confirmed this.
