But yes, I fully agree that having not beaten Castro into the ground, your best bet is to pretend you never had a strop with him in the first place and remove the embargo. Kill him with kindness if you like. Just start trading again.

From the things I have read about their lifestyle I fully believe that fully normalized relations would revolutionize their economy. It is just a difference between have's and have not's coupled with proximity. It would become the new hot vacation destination for many Americans and it would be very easy to get to. Of course the Cuban government would have to open their markets as well and allow large corps to build hotels and other vacation spots. It would be a win-win.
