Larry, I'm not back-pedaling on any of my statements or trying to water them
down. The sanctions have a PROFOUND effect on Cuba's economy. By imposing
sanctions, America is not ALLOWING Communism to work in the country.

embargo and potentially lost billions of dollars in trade and tourism
annually. How logical would it be to say "See, Libertarianism doesn't work"?
That's my point. Why are you being so bull-headed?
