Well, I'm not really blaming their woes on us.  Sorry if it came off that way.  I'm just saying that the only reason we aren't trading with them right now is because of a small group of fanatics who hate Castro.

We need to help edge out Communism from Cuba by opening trade with them.
Not really pointing the finger at you, Turq. More at the rest of the people who decry our trade policy with Cuba and relate the backward-ass nature of their country to it.

As a side note, Miami wouldn't get flooded with Cubans if we'd just go ahead and lift the embargo.  Cuba would quickly become a capitalism if we'd just open our trade up with them.  The damn anti-Castro Cuban fanatics won't let that happen though.
did you know Cuba was very close to becoming a US territory, then state, back in the beginning of last century.
Not through any desire of their own. Read up on the exploits of Antonio Maceo, José Marti et al. It would have been a US imperial possession, not a willing subject.

Its pretty feeble the US prevents its citizens doing business with, or taking money into, a foreign country.
Is that the case? I believe it is.

Not sure what you mean by this. Can you elaborate a bit? Your question is not entirely clear.
