Dear Friends:
Blessed are the peacemakers, it says in Matthew 5:9 - and the peacemakers seem to
converging in Havana.
One week from today, the leaders of Roman Catholicism and the Russian Orthodox Church

to try and advance the healing process between Eastern and Western Christianity,
 churches which have been in schism since 1054.
In coming to Cuba to seek peace, Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill I are not alone.
For two years, a tightly held negotiation [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0015lf7ncySOapNS-FEyy6HfGaDwrANDMbrv2qJam-NNqv869fPWeO_HwqX00YAW8rifmQ5r34uRo8q6HGUakVFiycpShrw8usFCFn44UFrQ9wrSbVQ58NIg1mlokskdGpnDMkZL1Msyw0LbrhkxCnXX_MDd7VXwt5LtWPnt2S6xk2XxKsE4zQY_qWWP88ecyq-MQkyRD55UbizI-Yc6HOB-CaxA58PDtfR2cqQYcVMP4LjTWofy1uVBzbEC33hdJaCdvxu-lPjqB_gfWH6HnI9m-iXbAMVEhG4PjJn9ptGt9Q=&c=VjkRXuLYL0suQtyebid-mzEWcHLDvVExArOrjVns6955sO0HxaV9zA==&ch=fEMnjswYlHf67f1E1J1wydFvUIesW2j9zigSjbbP9uVuA-9O-2b87g==]

two countries. The diplomatic effort to normalize relations continues to roll forward
in both capitals.
Since 2014, Cuba and the European Union have been negotiating a new Political Dialogue
and Cooperation Agreement to replace the tired, confrontational framework that has
existed for nearly twenty years. The talks, which are alternating between Brussels

and Havana, will resume in Cuba later this year.
Most of all, talks to end the fifty-year civil war between the Government of Colombia
and the FARC guerrilla movement, a conflict that has claimed more than a quarter-million
dead, are "Heading toward the Finish Line in Cuba," according to Ginny Bouvier [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0015lf7ncySOapNS-FEyy6HfGaDwrANDMbrv2qJam-NNqv869fPWeO_HxENtcR9W_oyTIpWZS3fwXEkP1CpLEdiLfgm6Zyng0ckdZ59S2G1xSQyVJUf0uiIh3of4mikp-6utZHEt2iORh8BFvsbGqH0fBOhln--Y733UEohzFhZMZNRvRaAaNP1VSct2g4SKewCxp56ZH7h-8DMjpMgEXzJbkDD0Mzn9hG1NuEPpS5OP_P_yyTX_iUQlXJjTx61Ov9Id6lZMZ6DHiFHqSUgriLh-PSZxs3teHnJGOUpwUh0YLmdc17U2ubFtO80OvGMoAM4&c=VjkRXuLYL0suQtyebid-mzEWcHLDvVExArOrjVns6955sO0HxaV9zA==&ch=fEMnjswYlHf67f1E1J1wydFvUIesW2j9zigSjbbP9uVuA-9O-2b87g==]'s

- Cuba's role in hosting the negotiations continues to win praise.
As President Obama said [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0015lf7ncySOapNS-FEyy6HfGaDwrANDMbrv2qJam-NNqv869fPWeO_HxENtcR9W_oyHnd5AXYzXd24oySf2Igy858SJqCoc0fL7nxpcqrLrgviZT_dLgHfYI5jIDTiUyaa1UT2YrgPIqRVynY_NUp03IhCZ85vtImC7fY2Grsr87sE_0QF8x2Zv4HoJJHRVSEAFeAa751QvUWDuYbD3hWRw84T9ECkp4IpFuFHbFfiVEu5MIiJ4GsHI5ahGOnaVTxsr6Hu1k7POYuP4e0EGJ1gX7t2bNmAMXZMsKbzTxr_GhojgVbS2BF-_J00QQeSXOu2&c=VjkRXuLYL0suQtyebid-mzEWcHLDvVExArOrjVns6955sO0HxaV9zA==&ch=fEMnjswYlHf67f1E1J1wydFvUIesW2j9zigSjbbP9uVuA-9O-2b87g==]
at a White House ceremony with Colombia's Juan Manuel Santos at his side, "I want
to think all of the parties for their efforts, including the government of Cuba 
for hosting the talks. We all know that it's easier to start wars than to end them."
President Santos replied in part by saying, "I also believe that I speak for all
 the people in Latin America and the Caribbean, all the people who live south of
 the Rio Grande, when I say to you, thank you. Thank you, Mr. President, for your
audacity in reestablishing diplomatic relations with Cuba."
The President was audacious, indeed, for ushering in a period of diplomacy that 
has produced resumed relations, reopened embassies, prisoner releases, policy reforms
and more. In a world beset by tragic struggles and disorder, it's hard not to enjoy
the emergence of Cuba, once the epicenter of the Cold War conflict, as a 21st Century
staging point for reconciliation.
Somehow, the editorial writers at the Washington Post have figured out a way not
 to feel the love.

didn't allow a day to go by before it unloaded on President Obama's decision to 
normalize relations with Cuba. On December 17th, 2014 they called his diplomatic
breakthrough "an undeserved bailout" of the Castro regime. They also called the
 administration "naïve" for believing it would help transform U.S. relations with
Latin America.

the Post denounced the deal as "one-sided," and actually took pleasure in the fact
that Congress was stopping the appointment of a U.S. Ambassador to Cuba. In September

they slammed the overhaul of U.S. policy again for being "one-sided." And on Sunday,
they roared again.

taken in 2011, declares that President Obama's opening to Cuba "seems to be failing
to live up to its declared goals." After concluding that nothing positive has materialized,
"the president's only response," they say, "has been more unilateral concessions."
In the Post's parallel universe, in one year's time, nothing has been accomplished.
Cuba has not unilaterally dismantled its system in the last year, just as it didn't
for more than fifty years under the old policy. But that's the wrong metric.

Paul Pillar pillages the Post for its way-stale argument giving the administration
a single year to reverse decades of failed policy in Cuba.
"Evidently half a century," Pillar writes, "through ten different U.S. administrations,

any useful results. But the editorial criticizes President Obama's opening for not
bringing about a 'sea change in Cuba' during the brief time it has been in effect."

U.S. investments, allow a range of Cuban imports into the U.S., free individuals
 to make people-to-people trips to Cuba, and make significant changes in the regulatory
regime and its enforcement so that U.S. banks embrace the idea of commerce with 
Cuba, rather than thwarting it in fear of being fined.
The choice seems pretty clear; rather than returning the policy to the Post's parallel

 Internet service in two Havana neighborhoods. ETECSA, the state telecommunications
company intends to use fiber optic connections from Chinese telecom operator, Huawei,
to provide Internet service to homes in the historic Old Havana neighborhood. This
development comes a year after Cuba set up dozens of public Wi-Fi hotspots, and

Given reluctance by Congress to take up legislation to repeal the embargo, the Obama
administration's actions in Cuba have relied on the use of executive authority. 
 Should a Republican win the White House in 2016, Professor LeoGrande warns that
 President Obama's unilateral executive actions can easily be revoked. In the year
remaining, however, he lists a series of actions the administration could take to
make Cuba policy reform progress harder to roll back.

Progreso Semanal offers an updated look into proposed constitutional changes in 
Cuba. On February 24, 2013, President Raul Castro announced that he was introducing
changes to the constitution. The first proposal outlined was the need to introduce
term limits on politicians. At most, they would be able to serve two five-year terms
in office. Three years later, we still do not have many additional details on the
reforms. Professor and investigator at the Center for the Study of Public Administration,
Julio Antonio Fernandez, imagines that we will see a clearer proposal at the upcoming
April 2016 Party Congress, following the same logic of reform put forth in 1992.
