US 'blockade' of Cuba

US 'blockade' of Cuba
What's in a word? Blockade vs. Embargo. Like "collateral damage", what does that mean? Why not call it what it is? Killing innocent people.

For instance, "Unfortunately, the air raid caused some collateral damage." Why not tell the truth? "Unfortunately, the air raid killed 20 innocent people."

And keeping people and trade away from Cuba is certainly a blockade. What are they afraid of when they decide to use such "weasel words"?
