To an outsider - I live in the UK - it seems patently obvious that the US has upheld its trade embargo not because Cuba is a communist country nor because of its human rights violations but because it is peeved that the Cuban government stole land that used to belong to American citizens. And yet only one other country in the world, Israel, supports the trade embargo. Every other country condemns it. I have visited Cuba and it is a lovely place with lovely people. It is so sad to see the most powerful country in the world bullying it and empoverishing its citizens in a spat over its land.

Much is made of Cuba's human rights violations but America itself doesn't come off very well when all thirty of the rights in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are considered, see Mapelcroft's analysis in http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/03/human-rights-risk-atlas-2014-violations-maplecroft_n_4374133.html. Cuba has more human rights violations than the US but only 50% more according to another source.

We all have African ancestry, that's where Homo sapiens comes from.
