The U.S. has political prisoners and millions of economic prisoners, more than any country in the world. Clearly you must embargo us until we are free.

and have fled the country.

There are more than ten million Mexicans in the U.S. Clearly you must embargo Mexico.

Why doesn't the government call a free and fair vote and see what Cubans really think?

Cuba is a country under siege. Thousands of terrorist attacks have been carried out from the United States, including an invasion. You cannot have fee and fair elections if the country next door is trying to destroy you. The U.S. government spends many millions in many countries in order to interfere with their internal democracies.

In any event, Cuba is considerably more democratic than you know. Cubans, for example have the right to recall politicians they don't like, and they exercise this power fairly regularly. It may not be multiparty democracy, but the Cuban people have a fair amount of control over their government.
