Strange logic.

Batista was a puppet of US interests who let US corporations rape their land. Cuba was just one of may regimes the US has secretly supported and propped up in Latin America to ensure their self interests were taken care of, damned be those people living in those nations; the US could care less about that.
But beyond that I understand the initial reaction and embargo, they had to do at least that, even if the US was abusing and taking advantage of that nation.
However to let it still continue today is what I have a problem with, and that is exactly what my point is, they are using it for the last 20-30 years as political capital. Insert any candidate when asked about Castro, answer "you think he is evil and you will continue to sanction his regime," then collect your votes Cuban Floridian votes.
