I think that the US should relax its blockades of Cuba. Cuba is a small country, and it is responsible for its own people. If the government is communist, it is the government's perogative. Just as if the US wants to be democratic, it has the right to be so within its own borders.

I really wish that the US would clean up its own act, instead of pointing fingers at all the "atrocities" other countries do. Yes, the other countries have documented cases of human rights violations. So does the US.

Take care of your own turf first, your own people's freedom and comfort, and then be worried about the rest of the world.

When a country is so obsessed with fighting "evil" in another country that it is neglecting its own people, there is something drastically wrong.
