Pope
Francis is in Cuba. And his visit shows that principles, diplomacy and attitude
can immensely contribute to progressive change. It reminds us that today´s
levers of power have a lot to do with values and approaches and much less to do
with sanctions and military means. Sanctions and guns have some weight, no
doubt about that. But their impact remains limited. They have to be part and
parcel of a much larger approach. They have their moment. And then there is a
time when they are no longer the best way forward.
That´s
what is happening today in Cuba.
And
we are fortunate that President Obama fully understands the change that is
taking place.
