It's about freakin' time after 10 years at least of having it shoved in your face. So now that I finally have your respect what do you make of a lefty who would embargo a communist dictatorship?
Take your time and if it takes another 10 years...then it is what it is.
If we were to embargo trade with countries with human rights problems we'd be embargo'ing the large majority of the world, including the US and ourselves.
On the other hand, sanctions are a legitimate tool in managing international relations.
