"that mixes dictatorship with signs of royalty"

Noooo, not royalty! :D

Seriously though. No one is suggesting that Cuba's record is pretty, but the US deals openly and frequently with countries with far worse records (our dear ally Saudi, anyone?) - including some that are officially Communist (China, Vietnam - so much for the "fear of communism" as the cause). For that matter, the human rights record in the US of A has gotten pretty ugly itself in the past 8 years, so who's calling who unjust, right?

The bottom line for me has never been about "Is Cuba good or bad?" - the reality is that governments, good and bad, deal with each other, every day, all over the world. Singling Cuba out for ostracization is bizarre, petty and hypocritical.
