I'm glad that Cuba has struck it rich

I really am glad that Cuba has 20 billion barrels of newly discovered oil. That means there is absolutely no reason to remove the embargo. I mean going forward Cuba should have plenty of money to build infrastructure, housing, get rid of food rationing etc. The castro brothers have hit the proverbial lottery and now nobody can blame the embargo for Cuba's human rights abuses (though I never understood how they were connected to begin with). The U.S. is now officially irrelevant to Cuba's economic situation. I for one am glad. We can now say "not our fault" and everyone will just have to believe us.

Yeah right.
