Traveling to Cuba

The Senate went along with the House and passed a bill allowing U.S. citizens to travel to Cuba. Should President Bush veto this? It's been over 40 years of the embargo and travel restrictions and Cuba is no closer to freedom than when Castro first made it a Communist prison island. After 40+ years of an ineffective policy, shouldn't something new be tried? The U.S. has fairly normal relations with China and even Vietnam. What makes Cuba so different? I lean toward ending the embargo and conquor Cuba with American capitalism, but I want to hear some good pro-embargo arguments.
