Reply #3: It should all wait until Castro dies of old age.

Those restrictions have been in place since 1962, some because of human rights issues Baucus said are no longer a concern.

Castro's history shows horrific abuse of human rights, and there's also the issue of the US taking over part of Cuba in the 50s and never relinquishing that hold..the Great Cuban Standoff between the US and Cuba. When Castro passes on to the great beyond, then these issues will take on a new meaning. A lot will have to do with who takes over leadership of Cuba, and who is in the driver's seat in the US.

Montana is trying to set a precedent that, during this time in history, could have devastaing effects that could capitulate into furthering the current tug-of-war between US Foreign Policy, and the control and demise of the Cuban population.

Things have got to change here re: Foreign Policy and getting the asswipe and company out of office before addressing the embargo on Cuba. To have Montana making this move now would only serve to obfuscate the current idiotic and self-serving Foreign Policy decisions currently in use.
