They're idiots.

It's one thing to relax the Embargo and trade restrictions. It's another thing to invite him over for dinner and break open the expensive wine.

For the last 50+ years, the Castro family has destroyed Cuba while at the same time posing as an annoying threat to our security on multiple occasions. Their relations with the Soviets during the Cold War set the groundwork for nutjobs like Chavez.

Aside from over-hyped mediocre cigars, relaxing relations with Cuba provides little benefit for us.
