“I particularly commend him for his comments about the issue regarding Cuba and how we might do a better job than we have over the past 40 years of bringing democracy to that country. After 40 years of failed policies, one might think a new approach would be in order. I take note as well that as we speak today, a former President of the United States, President Carter, is in Cuba speaking to dissidents and human rights activists, as well as members of the Government of Cuba. That kind of exposure, that kind of engagement is going to do more to bring about the change we want to see in Cuba than the insistence of a failed policy we have followed for the past four decades.”
