Top 10 reasons for the US to change its policy on Cuba
Maybe Fidel has a few more days than the Spanish newspaper El Pais says. In any case, there is a new paper out that recommends a drastic change in US foreign policy towards Cuba. Here it is, for your discussion:
Grounded in research and reality, "In Our National Interest" states the key arguments in fourteen pages with backup research and a powerful clarity:1 The policy has produced nothing in decades
2 Enforcing the policy drains resources from the war on terror
3 The policy hurts American companies and American workers
4 The policy is an assault on family values
5 The policy infringes on the rights and liberties of all U.S. citizens
6 The policy hurts America's image abroad
7 The Castro government uses our policy to advance its own ends
8 The policy puts political interests above the national interest
9 Important people oppose the policy and want to see it changed
10 The policy stops Americans from doing what they do best
The Center for Democracy in the Americas (CDA) -- http://www.democracyinamericas.org/ -- is devoted to changing U.S. policy toward the countries of the Americas by basing our relations on respect and dignity, and fostering dialogue particularly with those governments and movements with which U.S. policy is at odds.
