And today, 15 years after the Cold War ended, and 45 years after the Cuban Missile Crisis, it's still illegal for Americans to buy Cuban cigars. Heck, one of my American friends was once warned that it was illegal for him to even smoke a Cuban while outside the US.
The only difference is the severity of the punishment; and certain types of treason in western worlds are punishable by death.
Not saying its right; just saying that I understand it.
