U.N, VOTES LIFT U.S. EMBARGO AGAINST CUBA
UNITED NATIONS (New York) — The United Nations General Assembly Voted 21 years in a row to condemn the  50 year old American embargo against the Latin Caribbean island of Cuba.

 This brings the Cuba-American embargo to teh forefront  of one of the worlds most useless political actions against any country in modern history.

All the countires of the modern world are clearly telling telling U.S President Barack Obama to put an end to this ridiculous blockade against the people of Cuba.

As always the poor people of Cuba are the only ones that are suffering under the inhuman American Embargo.
