US to possibly lift Cuban embargo just because of giant crude oil quantities under Cuba?

A few years ago geologists estimated that between 5 billion bbl. and 10 billion bbl. of oil lie beneath the waters off Cuba's northwest coast. This sudden discovery lead the US to renew debates over whether a crude-thirsty U.S. should loosen its 46-year-old trade embargo against Cuba and let yanqui firms join the drilling. How would that do to their economy as well as ours? Is it right to lift the embargo just because of possible new crude oil drilling for the giant importer of petrolium?

I mean our economy and as well as theirs.

It wouldn't affect the US economy much, if at all, while providing a huge boost to Cuba in the form of easier access to American goods and tons of tourism.

I don't think that just getting more petroleum is a good reason to lift the embargo, but I've thought it should be lifted anyway for a long time. Free trade is the best weapon we have in the fight against communism & totalitarianism. That's what capitalism and democracy are all about.
