There's this choice gem at the end of a Los Angeles Times editorial criticizing the U.S. Treasury Department for how it warned an American-owned hotel in Mexico City that it should not be hosting Cuban officials in town to meet with American oil executives:
But the real the fault lies with Congress. It should rework Cuban policy to focus narrowly on keeping dollars and conventional and nonconventional weapons out of the hands of the Castro regime and easing the burden on American citizens and businesses. And most of all, lawmakers should at long last put an end to these punishing and counterproductive sanctions, which only punish and alienate the very people they're intended to help.
And how exactly have Cuba's economic ties with Europe and the rest of the non-sanctioning world helped "the very people they are intended to help?"
The Cuban people do not suffer because the U.S. won't do business with the repressive, communist regime.
