•   Click here for a paper written analyzing the US embargo in Cuba.  "The United States has used the embargo in an attempt to undermine the rule of Fidel Castro and help to bring about a democratic government this nation located just south of the United States. Fidel Castro still remains in power today, and the embargo still remains as a sign of the United States opposition to the Communist regime. Should the United States continue to enforce the embargo on the nation of Cuba or begin a new era of dialog without an embargo with its neighbor to the South?"

It's the Caribbean's largest and least commercialized island and one of the world's last bastions of communism. While all is not rosy in the garden of perpetual revolution (as the number of Cubans getting creative with inner tubes suggests), the island's political isolation has prevented it from being overrun by tourists and the locals are sincerely friendly to those that do venture in. Even blockade runners from the US get a warm welcome!"

Tengo amigos cubanos en EEUU y en conversaciones muy privadas reconocen lo que Fidel ha hecho por Cuba. Ya quisiera otro país latinoamericano tener los índices de vida y medicina que ha logrado la Isla. Sabemos que no es perfecto el sistema, en mi opinión debería cambiar, pero es lo único que ha podido mantener a Cuba fuera de la garra gringa. Más que un problema de Fidel es un problema norteamericano que con su política equivocada y antihistórica hacia la Isla, lo que ha logrado es aferrar a Fidel al poder."
