Anyway, the seizures of private property by a foreign government definitely sucks.
Here is my solution. Normalize relations with Cuba, sucker them into using the US dollar as their currency, print billions of dollars and buy shit from them with the newly printed dollars, including a potential lower price on premium cigars now that they aren't banned, and then allow private parties to sue in US courts for recovery. If they don't pay, seize Cuban bank accounts in the US, which is where they will put all those dollars we give them for their cigars, rum, and hookers.
The embargo did it's job and ran its course. We should move on.
