US Blockade of Cuba is an Albatross!!

 AROUND the NECKS of BOTH NATIONS!!

    Cuba calls it a Blockade and the United States calls it an EMBARGO. Whatever it is, it has existed since 1962 and it seems that everyone in the world except a few supporters in Miami and Washington believes that it shames the United States as much as it devastates Cuba!! Even de-classified U. S. documents from 1962 reveal that the purpose of the Embargo/Blockade was/is to...starve, deprive, and make miserable the Cubans in Cuba to induce them to rise up and overthrow their revolutionary governemnt!! Well...the overthrow has not happened but the six decades of the 1962-imposed "sanctions" have indeed starved, deprived, and made miserable three generations of Cubans, especially the Cuban children and their mothers on the embargoed and blockaded island.
    Yes, for six decades it seems that only a few rich and powerful people in Miami and Washington support the three images depicted above. Yet...in the richest and strongest nation in the whole world, those images have existed worldwide since 1962!! Even the international reach of YouTube daily tells billions of people around the world about "The War On Cuba" that has existed since 1962 from the nearby United States of America.
   For sure...for the past six decades it has been the "USA VS. THE WORLD" when it comes to the U. S. EMBARGO/BLOCKADE of Cuba. But, of course, the USA is the world's richest and most powerful nation, so world opinion takes a back-seat to the USA's Cuban policies.
   One might expect that worldwide images such as the one above would have long ago shamed the USA into ending the EMBARGO/BLOCKADE of Cuba. But that simply has not happened.
    This photo was taken on October 24th of 1962 and it shows the moment when President John F. Kennedy signed the EMBARGO/BLOCKADE on Cuba into a U. S. law. Many biographies reveal that before the young JFK was assassinated in Dallas in 1963, he had strongly wished that he had not signed that bill. But as the new and young Democratic President in 1960, JFK had inherited already planned and very drastic anti-Cuban plans already put in place by the previous Republican administration -- drastic and historic actions such as...the U. S. Bay of Pigs Military Attack on Cuba in April of 1961; the Embargo/Blockade of Cuba in October of 1962, etc., etc.
    The photo above is a reminder that, since 1962, three generations of children in Cuba have been adversely affected by the U. S. EMBARGO/BLOCKADE of their island. All the while, of course, the American people have been told the EMBARGO/BLOKCADE is only meant to hurt the mean leaders of Cuba!!!
            And all the while since 1962 all little girls in both Cuba and in the United States deserve to live without the drastic affects of an EMBARGO/BLOCKADE imposed by a powerful nation on a much-weaker nation. And that logic, of course, even includes little girls holding Cuban flags, such as the little girl shown above.
