What will deter the next Central American dictator and murderer if the Cubans are given a free pass? Invoking pragmatism to justify continued human rights violations in Cuba merely because economic reforms might dissuade a mass exodus to Mexico and Florida is a bad idea.
把古巴当作例外情况将是一次巨大的倒退。如果古巴可以自行其是，那么还有什么能对中美洲的独裁者和杀人犯起到震慑作用？由于经济改革而援引实用主义为古巴持续不断的侵犯人权行为辩护或许能够阻止流向墨西哥和佛罗里达的大批移民，但这样的主意肯定并不高明。
