Description

WHEN THE CUBAN AIR DEFENSE SHOT down two civilian planes earlier this year, killing four Cuban-Americans, the United States swerved away from the process of normalizing diplomatic relations with Cuba. The details of the incident are unclear; little is known besides the fact that the planes and their pilots belonged to a Cuban-American group known as Brothers to the Rescue, an organization that sends planes to help Cuban refugees who wish to enter the United States. The details of the incident are less important than its immediate consequences. Cuba's downing of these planes has prompted the US government to impose new economic sanctions on Cuba, and the bitter enmity between Washington and Havana has been rekindled. This turn of events is unfortunate, for it seems that US President Clinton will follow the lead of the Republican congress and return to the unsuccessful policy of confrontation and isolation that marked the first three decades of Washington's relationship with Fidel Castro's regime. However, Clinton ought to continue the process of normalization with Cuba, even in the face of hostile acts such as the downing of the Brothers to the Rescue planes. The domestic political costs to President Clinton of improving US-Cuban relations are overstated, and such a process of normalization is the most prudent course for US foreign policy.
