Bless the Starving People of Cuba, and Send Them Aid

   For 21 years, the UN has been tapping on our arm, asking the U.S. to end its trade embargo on Cuba. The UN passes non-binding resolutions. This year, 188 countries voted for ending the embargo. Only Israel and the tiny Pacific island of Palau voted to support the U.S. in the embargo.
   It's time. If only in part. If we do not completely lift the embargo, that would be fine, as long as we lift it enough to allow aid to get into the country. I just viewed a picture, taken in January 2010, I believe, of three who starved while in a psychiatric hospital in Havana. Altogether, 26 people, I believe, died at that time from starvation in the hospital.
   If people are starving there, let us help, not with U.S. foreign aid, but with aid from the Red Cross or other service organizations. Let us take relief to them. If we have erred for 51 years by not giving relief, and letting people die, let us give it now. If their people are under the rule of communism, that is a bad thing, a punishment upon them. But, why should we add to their punishment? If it is the government we would hurt, why hurt the people?
