113. I agree the embargo stinks- but Castro stinks as well
I also agree that Cubans have a strong lobby and are active democratically which has enabled them to garner rights for themselves.

Don't like the embargo and I think that free market trade and democracy would topple Castro faster than the status quo hostility which actually serves to empower his dictatorial stance.

That being said, why would my saying that Castro is a Dictator with known human rights abuses and that Cuban society is largely a repressed society make me "Cuba-phobic???"
