Show me evidence that the same issues are in play in Cuba as they were in 1980's South Africa. They're not.

Why do we need to have a relationship with Castro's toe? Or is that just that you have a foot fetish?
Isolation of Cuba has never made much sense to me. But given their history, free and unfettered relations, including unrestricted trade, doesn't make much sense either. Given Castro's history, any western foreign investments in Cuba would be at some level of risk.
