I fail to see the reason for lifting the blockade/sanctions when the country doesn't change. So what if the country is poor? It's the leader of the country who is letting that happen, and unless he changes his stripes, he will continue to be the same person he's always been.
People in this world constantly hammer Bush for being a neo-con and acting a certain way. They point to his supposed secret history (taking the posts at face value) and show he has a history and plans for a certain type of behavior.
These same people usually expose the opinion that other people, who have a proven and documented track record of acting a certain way, have changed because they aren't a risk anymore... because their countries' innocent people are being impacted.
Don't you see the double standard? If you're condemning Bush for his "history", then why not do the same for others??
