Congress should demand that we get something in return and block this action until we receive some concession, even if it's only symbolic. That way we don't project weakness and we don't reward a dictatorship for digging in its heels and refusing to change.
I really don't know whether I agree with you or not.
In these days, as we approach the 16th* year of the Twenty-First Century, I lean towards total embargo lift.
BEFORE LIFTING, I would require talks with Cuba letting them know that giving military-related assistance to North Korea and letting Russia build giant listening posts near Havana are non-starters.
If we are going to have China-like relations with Cuba, then, Cuba's got to act less like an enemy.
I would like to hear Cuba's response to these requirements. I'd let them know that any future US administration/Congress could re-establish the embargo should Cuba insist on acting like an enemy of the USA.
That goes both ways, so, I'd take steps towards the USA not acting badly towards Cuba.
