Rick,
I think I understand your "business" viewpoint on Cuba. If I am reading you right, you see an economic opportunity going awasted by the US to the advantage of other countries economies. That part I understand.
What I, and others, particularly Cuban-Americans, cannot condone is the enriching of Castro's despotic regime. Humanitarian aid as in the past, for such as hurricane relief is one thing, but doing anything to make his system of oppression last one day longer with our dollars quite another.
There are certainly enough countries, such as France, who are willing to enrich themselves by actions such as ignoring the UN embargo on Iraq. I am not such a capitalist that I am willing to condone trade with totalitarian nations, especially totalitarian nations with a wont to exporting mayhem.
