I blame the Govt of Cuba. People are so desperate that they risk drowning & sharks rather than to be imprisoned in the island. The island is a prison with CDR's & cameras & microphones & all sort of electronic bugs monitoring your every move. You can't trust your neighbor. He is so hungry he'll betray you for some bread crumbs.
Professionals, such as Drs & teachers, engineers etc will prostitute themselves with tourists.
They live in hopeless apathy, with no opportunity
to advance unless they become a rabid communist.
Yes people make their own decisions, sometimes they pay with their life, better to take a chance to be free, than to live under oppression.
I agree. LIVE FREE or DIE trying!

Can you tell me what Embargo??? Cuba has deplomatic and business relations with all countries in the Globe earth... Today you can add USA in business too. Cuba buys from this country as much as they want and still Usa is his #1 provider and business parter.... The only thing Usa do not have with Cuba is open Diplomatic relations..and I say open becouse they do have talks anytime they wish. Even there is a Usa Interest Section in Havana ( Usa Emmbasy before). The only Embargo is..No access to International Bank Money and Traveling between both countries. The Embargo have been the blame and excuse for Castro for his bad management and bad Organization to his own people in the country of Cuba. Communism have been proved to be the disaster of sociaty and progress to mankind. Just for that I think if the Embargo is lifted Fidel and raul Castro will have no one to BLAME anymore.

So, since you are too cowardly to do anything about it you would rather see your countrymen die ?

This is why nobody likes you and your kind. You only care about yourself and nothing else.

From the very beginning of his Revolution Fidel and raul Castro show his hate for America ...to this day. He did everything he could to have the rest of the world support him in his idea of The Yankee Imperialism..as he call it. To this day if you read his now "Reflections of the Comandante", there is not a day he writes about how bad this country is not only against Cuba but against the rest of the world. His homologo Chavez call americans, assesins, and people to slavery other people in the world. We as citizens of USA have a Democratic process where every 4 years we ellect a President...good or bad, but cast our Vote. So.. as well as the President WE citizens are responsable for our decisions as a Nation with our casted VOTE. How can this senile old man Fidel Castro offend Americans and still be supported by some in this country??? He is not only hating the Goverment ..He hates all of us who loves this country and our Flag. I am cuban born, left many, many years ago and I am offended and resent all his hate towards us. He is a bastard frustated revolutionary and irresponsible Cuba's Dictator.

Burro, you did not make your own decision. Castro emptied his asylums and placed you on the Mariel boatlift. Shame on El Jefe as now we must pay to medicate you!
