Lest you be misinformed....

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.

Some highlights:

Venezuela
$11.367 billion

Spain
$3.200 billion

China
$3.170 billion

Japan
$2.775 billion

That's just the top 4 on the list provided by the Cuba Transition Project. What was that about extending credit to the regime?
