Should the U.S end its embargo on Cuba?

I like this guy. It still lives. It's amazing what people think of Communism and Communist nations. I'd care to not hear the works on paper bit, if you all don't mind, I'm aware of that argument.

END THE EMBARGO

Either you believe in capitalism or you do not.
I for one believe.

According to the poll here on TTP it seems as though the embargo should be lifted. Unfortunately, as it is in Democracy, the minority can go suck it.

The only way I could see it working if lifted is if US business moves in down there and starts 'Americanizing' the populace much as capitalism has changed China (couldn't own a car in China not too long ago). This would sway the ideals of the people by showing them some personal freedoms. IF the Cuban government didn't put a stop to it then Castro's lil bro could be the last of his line in that form of government.

This is a whole lot of ifs and coulds though, so I am kinda either way.

I still believe this is best dealt with after our domestic issues are settled a bit more, right now we don't need to worry about an embargo, but what is going on with the economy here.

Was thinking about this and curious, if we ended the the embargo would it be easier for Cuban "Freedom Fighters" (or basically terrorist) be able to get weapons and thus be easier to uprise against the current government of Cuba.
