		But everybody in Cuba is educated now (as one El Rapido countergirl who didn't seem the willingly brainy type told me as if a bit overwhelmed by it all, "educadiiiiisimo!"), and Cuba's extreme organization and multiple organization and sub-organization provides a lot of political experience.
		Cuba's tacitly rigged elections and pervasive propaganda have filled the government and the universities and the artists and writers societies and the labor unions and the CDR's and etc. with understudies.

	Keep The Embargo On Cuba -- Heritage
		The U.S. imposed the embargo on Cuba because Castro was a communist dictator who repressed his people, stole the property of foreigners and threatened U.S. security and interests.

	Opinion: A common goal in Cuba
		Carter, who recently visited Cuba and met with political dissidents, used the opportunity to criticize Fidel Castro's human rights abuses, but he also was honest enough to acknowledge that both countries have an interest in moving toward normal relations.
		In a recent speech to Miami's Cuban-American community, the president ignored the historical record and vowed to continue the ban on trade and travel until Castro holds free elections for Cuba's National Assembly, releases political prisoners from jail and opens the door to human rights monitors.
		By setting conditions for trade with Cuba well beyond what we ask of China or Vietnam -- or the oil-producing states in the Middle East -- Washington gives Castro the ammunition he needs to unite his country against their Yankee neighbor and deflect attention from the miserable failures of his Communist regime.
