ALCON,

La verdad de un embargo, No se trata de hacer negocios estrictamente con tal pais, osea que Jibarito no te dice es que en la Politica todo es sucio y hay que tener cuidado. Basicamente trabaja asi, si EEUU le pone un embargo a cierto pais pues no solo EEUU no participa sino toda aquella nacion que tiene buena y quiere mantener buenas relaciones con EEUU. Eso es el problema que hay una pared politica e invisible y eso es lo que el Jibarito y otros Estadistas no le dicen a ustedes: Lean lo siguiente:

The embargo against Cuba is not healthy for children and other living things

by Jerry A. Sierra


THE COST TO THE U.S.
Between 1959 and 1985, U.S. taxpayers paid over $2 billion for the Cuban Refugee Program, designed by President Eisenhower to weaken and discredit the revolution. Not usually considered by supporters of the embargo is the fact that an open trading environment with Cuba would offer significant benefits to the U.S. For example:

The embargo deprives the U.S. of an important trade partner just 90 miles away. Those opportunities are slowly being grabbed by European, Canadian and South American firms not afraid to openly defy the U.S. embargo.
It’s been estimated that trade between the U.S. and Cuba may start at about $3 billion a year as soon as the embargo was lifted, with that amount increasing to $7 billion. (This figure may be somewhat lower now that European, Canadian and South American businesses have the advantage over American businesses in Cuba.) Rice growers in Louisiana and Arkansas, for example, would love to sell to Cuba again, as they did before 1959. There are also a number of machinery and consumer goods that would be traded. (I haven’t even touched on the travel industry, and how U.S. hotel chains watch their competitors building profitable hotels on the best parts of the island.) All of this is ignored by proponents of the embargo, who are only armed with cold war rhetoric, fear of change and the sentiments of “manifest destiny.”
The embargo encourages immigration to the U.S., often in dangerous situations that lead to deaths.
Many of our trade partners have claimed that Article III of the Helms-Burton Act violates international law. The issue has already disrupted relations with Canada, Mexico and the European Union, all of which are drafting retaliatory legislation.
