The embargo has been in place for some time. Those who wish to see it remain don't have to argue for it to remain. Those who want it lifted need to argue why it should be lifted, and an effective argument is hardly pointing out perceived failings of the others' argument.
So laws should exist, no matter how unjust, just because they exist?

Essentially, what you've done is admit that I should expect a compelling argument from you no time soon...
Uh, I gave you one: "Because an embargo is authoritarian and unjust to US citizens"
