Cuba is a beautiful country populated with very friendly people. As a 
Canadian I can visit Cuba whenever I'd like - and did so about seven years 
ago (no embargo here). However I believe that the US embargo is more 
reflective of the anger of American citizens whose property was nationalized 
without compensation after Castro's revolution then ex-pat Cuban's living in 
Florida.
