Ending The Embargo

A paragraph from Roger Cohen's piece in Sunday's NYT magazine:

...if the embargo had come down then, back in 1989, I doubt the [Castro] regime would have survived. But the grudges were too deep, and a mistake was made. Today the policy makes little sense. The United States dislikes Chez but maintains diplomatic relations with Venezuela. I think Obama should add to the measures he has already announced by offering to open full diplomatic relations with Cuba immediately.

Jake Colvin thinks the time is ripe.
