This embargo is ultimately hurting the people of the Cuba more than the government. The United States has all of the resources that Cuba needs, but they cannot get access to them. This embargo is punishing the wrong people. Being deprived of basic essentials such as medicine, food, and technology is inhumane, and should not be taken away from them.

In fact, Cuba is the only country in the western hemisphere which the U.S. government has persistently and actively used a full economic embargo as a dominant policy tool in an attempt
not be as lucky with our embargo policy towards Cuba. A policy that may have a major impact on the US, both domestically and internationally, is truly only actively discussed in the swing state of Florida. Is the US heading in the wrong direction with this policy? Certainly the author thinks so, and if he's right it's not likely that we'll receive a ticker tape parade at the end of journey like Corrigan did. Alex Lightman walks us through 78 reasons to end the embargo of Cuba. He does this by
The Cuban embargo has been in place for 52 years now, and American citizens are starting to question the goal and importance of such an embargo.

unnecessary but holds a possible threat to US-Latin American relations. The initial intent of the embargo was to escape the communist threat posed to the U.S. by Cuba’s alignment with the Soviet Union. However this is no longer a viable reason to maintain the sanctions against Cuba, due to the fall of the Soviet Union and their funding.
