¡Inocente! ¡Inocente!

Remember the great opportunities waiting out there for American businesses if only the embargo were lifted? Take a gander at Cuba's outstanding debt, that is the amount the bankrupt nation owes the rest of the world here.

Spain $3.200 billion
China $3.170 billion
Japan $2.775 billion
