People that support Castro are both Communists and idiots.

A trade embargo which does not include medical supplies and equipment by the way, does not constitute a foot on Cuba's back.

A U.S. arms embargo had been in force since March 1958 when armed conflict broke out in Cuba between rebels and the Batista government. In July 1960, in response to the nationalizations and expropriations by the Castro government, the United States reduced the Cuban import quota of sugar by 700,000 tons; the Soviet Union responded by agreeing to purchase the sugar instead, and further Cuban expropriations followed. A partial economic embargo was imposed by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower on October 19, 1960, and diplomatic relations were broken on January 3, 1961—two years after Castro's rise to power. The Soviet Union promptly stepped in, offering Cuba "preferential" trade prices, mainly for the sugar that Cuba exported and the crude oil the USSR sold them.

In response to Cuba's alignment with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, President John F. Kennedy extended Eisenhower's measures by Executive Order, first widening the scope of the trade restrictions on February 7 (announced on February 3) and again on March 23, 1962. (According to former aide Pierre Salinger, Kennedy asked him to purchase thousands of Cuban cigars for Kennedy's future use immediately before the extended embargo was to come into effect.) Following the Cuban Missile Crisis, Kennedy imposed travel restrictions on February 8, 1963, and the Cuban Assets Control Regulations were issued on July 8, 1963, under the Trading With the Enemy Act in response to Cubans hosting Soviet nuclear weapons, which led to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Under these restrictions, Cuban assets in the U.S. were frozen and the existing restrictions were consolidated.

An October 28 U.N. resolution opposing the U.S. embargo of Cuba is a misguided attempt to blame the United States for Cuba's failed economic policies and divert attention from that nation's abysmal human rights record, according to State Department Area Advisor Oliver Garza.

Explaining his vote against the resolution, Garza said arguments that the United States is denying Cuba access to food and water are baseless.

He noted that the United States has donated or sold more than $1 billion in medicine and medical equipment to Cuba since 1992 and licensed the export of more $5 billion in agricultural exports since 2001. Moreover, Garza pointed out, remittances from the United States to Cuba approach $1 billion annually.

"Let there be no doubt," he said, "if Cubans are jobless, hungry, or lack medical care, as the regime admits, it is because of the failings of the current government."

Garza added that the Cuban government is not a victim as it contends, but rather a tyrant that has shown no interest in implementing economic or political reforms and "aggressively punishes anyone who dares to have a differing opinion."
