I don't see that the "embargo" was accomplishing much at this point, other than imposing hardships on the Cuban people. If it hasn't accomplished its intended purpose after 50 to 60 years, why keep it?
As to whether or not this is an approprite executive action, that's another question. Was it congress that handled the Cuban Missile Crisis, or was it mainly Mr. Kennedy?
