I would have waited until after the Castro brothers were dead and buried.  As it is, it looks like a surrender. 

Well, no.

Well, yes.  Appearances matter in foreign policy.  These sanctions (unlike others) were rather personalized around one individual, unfortunately.  As long as he remains alive, he (and his brother, by extension) can claim victory by having outlived them.  As if we had simply given up, acknowledging failure.  Which is what essentially President Obama has done here. 

Well, no.
