It means engaging the Cuban people and that that increases the chances that a transition to democracy and free markets will be peaceful. I think the policy of isolation is a fair riskier course. The theory is the greater the pressure. the greater the likelihood of Castros overthrow. But what happens when the lid blows? The policy of isolation increases the risks of violent explosion in Cuba. It increases the risk of a massive exodus of refugees. and it increases the risk of possible U.S. military intervention. I reject a policy based on isolation and hardship for the Cuban people. I reJect a policy that pins its hope for change in Cuba on the promotion of unrest and violnce.
