Why not use economics more and bombs less? Why not more embargoes and
boycotts rather than rifles and explosives? The embargoes really hurt
Cuba. China greatly fears less trading. Even Hamas is now talking about
changing to prevent economic sanctions. The Iraq oil-for-food program
may have worked if it had been enforced.

Any kind of warfare can backfire on those that use it. Now that oil has
been discovered in Cuba, a trade embargo works to the detriment of the
US.
