I disagree. Any politician that said they would end the embargo and open up unfettered access so families could visit each other both in the states and in Cuba would garner a landslide with the Cuban voters. The whole embargo is based off Castro dissing the US when the revolution happened (Cuban not American) and the US doesn't want to end the embargo or it looks like the teeny tiny island bitch slapped us.

North Korea barely has electricity, they certainly aren't a threat. A small group of rednecks with shotguns could probably take on their entire military.

From orbit, I presume?

problems will be solved by taxing the h*ll out of the common citizen.
