@Ted LindThe embargo was directed exclusively to Americans, Cubans were free to do business with any one else. A lot of Canadians have take holidays in Cuba for decades now, The Spanish have built hotels in Cuba and made a killing hosting European tourists. French, Russians, Germans, all have at one point or another have done business in Cuba. Eventually they stop because of Cuba’s violent expansion of Marxist doctrines, especially in Africa. The Cuban people are punished, as you put it, but by their own government, The Cuban people are kept ignorant, poor, hungry and afraid by their own leaders, in those conditions they can’t think of freedom and liberty. Getting their bread for today takes precedence. Some of my Canadian friends who had visited Cuba have told me that the best tip one can give the tourism workers is to leave behind your used toothbrush, your underwear, better yet they go back home with empty suitcases. Although, everyone is equal so long as one doesn’t belong to the communist party, then one would be a good candidate to life in luxury and splendor. A collateral damage to the embargo is that Americans have remain ignorant, I don’t mean to offend, but to say you don’t know.
