Fidel Castro on 'Nuclear War'

I am pointing out that restricted travel is more common than most people think. Of the criticisms that could be leveled against the Cuban government, this is one that shows little differential to other countries.

A better argument to show the difficulties would be things like political oppositions, freedom of press etc. These are areas that more clearly show the difference between nations like Cuba and say the United States

As long as you weren't using it in defence of Cuba then fine.

I do feel that although it isn't the starkest differential (part of the reason it was an afterthought to my post) I still think the US is hardly comparable in terms of allowing movement of citizens.

It is an interesting point though and perhaps for a different thread, but should there ever be restrictions on travel (regardless of the country imposing the restrictions).
 
I'm wondering if the point being reached for here is, even if Cuba's government is dictatorial and bad, that does not mean that everything about Cuba must be considered superficially bad as well.

Something can be evil without being ugly.

Any American who wants to visit Cuba may do so quite easily, and many do. It's not rocket science. Flight to Mexico, flight to Cuba. Or some variation thereof. So yeah, most find it acceptable, since its not much of an actual restriction.
Unlike in Cuba, where there's no simple workaround to address the travel restrictions.

Americans with family or other personal connections to Cuba may now visit legally.

The travel restrictions apply to general tourism and other trade, which some would call collective punishment, just like Israel does with it's avowed enemies.

Somebody call De Silva or Goldstone or whoever...
