As I stated, the only current one is Cuba. I'm sure some of the other countries may have been on the list for short durations. Like when we were bombing them. Not wanting our citizens to be in a country were bombing seems like a normal enough practice. I certainly don't have a problem with that.
Cuba is purely political, and there is a large movement to end the restrictions. You are absolutely free to voice your desire to have this regulation revoked. No one will arrest you or fine you. Since you seem so passionate about these issues, what are you doing to change them? Do you write letters to your Congressman? Do you lobby Congress? How about running for office?
Don't complain about regulations if you do absolutely nothing to try to get them changed.
