And in my indignation, I forgot:

In 2001, when I was cycling in Cuba, we watched a United Airlines flight from Miami arrive at Holguin. Apparently this was a regular scheduled flight, despite the US embargo. Seats available only to Cuban expats living in USA.

The embargo is not one of principle, just a demonstration of naked political and financial power. This also apllies to the continued occupation of Guantanamo.
