Apparently that's just not enough.

So, I seem to have hemmed you in here and left you with no option other than juvenile and foolish ad hominem excressences.
After the number of times we tried to kill him, Fidel can be forgiven for his jaundiced view of "The Empire" but he's a senile old man whose relevance to US/Cuban relations is long past.

What are "ad hominem excressences"?
You couldn't hem in a pair of gym shorts. You want to insert a false comparison between "constructive engagement" with South Africa, and doing the same with Cuba. You've failed to address the central point - what's in it for either side to do so? Finding none, you want to conclude that the folks who are opposed to ending the embargo - some of whom are Dems - are racist. Crock!
By the way, other countries, including our neighbors to the north, have pursued EXACTLY that policy with CUBA and have gotten very little if anything for it. So, again, what would be in it for the US and Cuba to pursue that strategy when its has been met with little success elsewhere (assuming success is defined as Cuba improving its record on human rights).
