The reason for the embargo and for listing Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism was to draw a clear moral distinction between those nations that have learned to be part of the family of man, and those nations that have not.

By opening our arms to the Castro regime, President Obama has thrown away this moral clarity and distinction.
