America is indeed the land of the free. However, according to the "Rough Guide to Florida", I can not:
"Smuggle" in Cuban Cigars
"Smuggle" in lottery tickets
"Smuggle" in Pre-Columbian artefacts
Also, if I have visited a farm in the last month, my shoes will be consficated on arrival.
Just something amusing  -----------------------

Yeah, but don't you think Fidel is cool? I think we should smuggle him into the country. And speaking of freedom, why does the ACLU keep picking on my beliefs? -----------------------

He's right man, Holland is the land of the free, check their legal system  As for the embargo on Cuba, why is that still there? Obviously it's not doing anything, Castro's been in power since the 50s, and that shows no sign of stopping -----------------------

Poor Castro ... one of these days he's going to die ... and then they'll replace him with Lenin's thawed out corpse (which will have Al Gore's brain placed inside, of course).
And just HOW do I know these things???

I don't know why you want to blame the US government for the situation (other than just being a knee-jerk reaction for you guys).
If you really want to blame someone, blame Castro for not being a good enough ballplayer for the Yankees to have immediately signed way back when. I mean, it's not like he would've left New York just because his brother wanted to be a suicidal revolutionary. -----------------------

Nice try Fury, but Tycho's answer goes a lot farther in explaining it But you can't blame the polititians for everything... I have so much faith in the voting public to vote along party lines that if a head of lettuce was put up as a major party candidate, I believe that it would take 25% of the vote, and people would rationalize is saying things like "yeah, well at least that head of lettuce had a personality" In fact, we had an example of that this election season, except that both parties put up heads of lettuce
