School Bully

Dictatorship or legitimate Revolutionary government. Cuba has been painted as either the villain or the victim since the day the US decided to join the losing side of the Cuban revolution. Like most governments in the world, the Cuban government has its failings, but does that justify the continuing embargo from the US. There are many countries that have terrible Human Rights records that the US does not have an embargo against. China is a prime example, there is no way the US would risk placing an embargo against them. So for me, the Cuban embargo is just the US being the local bully.

Why can’t we lift this embargo against Cuba?

The way I see it, since NOT every politician is for this embargo then there is NOT clear evidence that Cuba has done something wrong to deserve this.  If they clearly deserved this then every politician would be for this embargo, am I not correct?  Maybe I am missing something?  Why isn’t this like in a court, it has to be unanimous before you are found guilty?
