Cuba & Setting Wrongs to Right

While Fidel Castro certainly did his part, has there been a more wrongheaded and longstanding American foreign policy than that toward Cuba?

Dare the Bush administration score a rare success and now declare the de facto 48-year war with Cuba over by lifting travel restrictions, say, in return for new President Raúl Castro releasing political prisoners and banning four-hour official speeches?

One can only hope.
