But while a Communist regime was willing to consign thousands of people to death. the democracies of the world were reaching out to those people and helping them live. The. Cambodian famine has shown the difference between democracy and communism. The Cuban refugees have staked their lives on the difference between democracy and communism. If we use the Cubans as scapegoats for our economic problems. if we scorn them or send them back to a place where there is no respect for human dignity and worth. then we deny all the values that define America. For in following that course. we treat men and women not as children of God but as things.
