> what's your point supporting dictators?
When we support most dictators in the world, but embargo Cuba, it sounds less like a moral stance, and more like hypocrisy.
The actual, reason for the embargo, of course, is not a moral stance, or a hypocritical one. It is simply courting Cuban voters[1] in Florida.
In Canada, this kind of phenomenon is called 'America sneezes, we catch a cold.'
[1] Now that Florida's fully fallen off the spectrum of reasonable politics, those voters may well become less relevant for both parties.
