All that 56 years of isolationist embargo has ever done is rather than weaken Castro's hold on the country, it did the opposite and secured Castro's power and insured he remained dictator.
“Free trade and the open exchange of information are the best tools America has to combat international tyranny. The U.S. should quickly end the Cuban trade embargo. Cuban markets would be a great place for our farmers and businesses to sell their products. And, the power of free markets would quickly push out the remaining totalitarian remnant, finally ending the Communism in the Western Hemisphere.” - Dr. Ron Paul
" if the US truly wants Cuba to become a free and prosperous country: the US government should completely remove all restrictions on US citizens and then step aside. American tourists, businessmen, students, and scholars can do far more to promote real American values than bureaucrats, government-funded NGOs, and US-funded propaganda broadcasts. A better future for the United States and Cuba simply requires our government opening the door and getting the heck out of the way!" - Dr. Ron Paul,

"let’s not forget that the Cuban embargo is a direct attack on the economic liberty of the American people at the hands of their own government. Any American who dares to spend what is supposedly his own money in Cuba is arrested, prosecuted, fined, and jailed, not by Cuban officials but by U.S. officials, " - Jacob G. Hornberger

"the embargo was Castro’s best friend, not only because it provided him with something on which to blame Cuba’s economic woes, it also prevented Americans from freely traveling to Cuba and possibly influencing Cubans in a pro-freedom direction." - Jacob G. Hornberger
