I discard the actual premise of your question - that the embargo is "unfair".

What, exactly, requires the United States to change our behavior towards that debacle of an island when they are insistent upon not changing their behavior which resulted in the situation, in the first place?

The "unfair" embargo might end when:

A) They finally admit Castro is, indeed, Tango Uniform
B) They admit that yet another communist/socialist experiment has failed
C) Castro's brother finds a ten foot pole with which to not touch a leadership position of any kind
D) They hold free elections

We'll know it's about time to "normalize" relations when people start swimming FROM Florida TO Cuba. That'll be a decent enough sign for me.
