- I know this is not the right newsgroup but, what the heck, I'll
- chip in anyway. In my opinion, it is neither a blockade nor an
- embargo but something in between. Some months ago, the US `advised'
- India not to sell rice to Cuba that the latter needed very badly.
- India went ahead and sold the rice anyway. This I think is an
- exception. Usually trading with Cuba is a sure way to alienate
- the US and not many small nations, especially the Latin American
- countires, can afford that.
