(118,759 posts)would be a rich mixed market economy rich now if the USA had dropped the embargo when you say. USA is losing lots of opportunity. Canadians have invested in spanish galleon treasure hunting in Cuba because they were the last place in the West that started looking for ships. Cuban Americans would have lots of US $$$ backing them if they were to invest in business back home. There would be such opportunity. A win win for all. And this time do it right.....build a middle class.
