Again, Boom, you are right. But it doesn't matter. This is an issue, like all issues in all politics everywhere, where the minority that cares a WHOLE LOT about what happens will always triumph over a majority that either doesn't care or feels the opposite way but not very strongly.
It's not even the best example. Most Americans have a vague sense of supporting Israel. Nobody but an increasingly small percentage of older Cuban Americans gives a rat's ass about Cuba or the embargo, and some powerful interests, like farmers, support ending the embargo, but the passionate minority gets its way.
