The embargo has always been there because the US goverment hated Castro for a number of embarassing things. The two goverments need each other to renforce their own selfish ends.

It does amuse me however how some in the US looks to Castro as some romantic figure who only does bad things because the evil US gave him no option. It's about power plain and simple. Those who elevate Castro to some heroic status are doing a great diservice to the Cuban people. Cuba will be better off when the Castro's are gone. They don't have to do the bidding of the US in order to have freedom.
