We must stop the inhumane blockade against Cuba.
Cubans are suffering and dying and it is our nation's fault.
From today's New York Times, by two reporters who visited Cuba:
"The U.S. blockade of fuel to Cuba, on top of the longest embargo in modern U.S. history, defies the norms of international law that provide for state sovereignty, nonintervention in domestic affairs and the right of nations to trade freely. It amounts to an economic assault on the basic infrastructure of Cuba, designed to inflict collective punishment on the civilian population by manufacturing a humanitarian crisis in which health care, running water, agriculture and transportation are no longer available."
This is unacceptable: we cannot allow this administration to continue to flaunt international agreements and norms. Our nation used to be largely a force for good. It is now terrorizing other countries all over the world. Please make it stop.
