'Ma Miami wale nō ʻo Cuba i kahi mamao loa. ʻAʻohe mea ʻē aʻe i ʻoi aku ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o nā huaʻōlelo o ke mele a Bette Midler ma mua o ka pukana o ka huakaʻi Cuba. ʻO 90 mau mile ma waena o Florida a me Cuba ka lōʻihi loa ma waena o ʻelua mau wahi, ma ke ʻano noʻonoʻo a me ka manaʻo.
Pono kēia pilikia i ka nānā ʻana i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka ʻole o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo.
Ke ʻōlelo nei ka poʻe kākoʻo i ka pāpā huakaʻi ʻaʻohe kānāwai e pāpā ana i ka hele ʻana i Cuba, a ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka mākaʻikaʻi wale nō i Cuba i pāpā ʻia e ke kānāwai US. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole hiki i ke kamaʻāina a i ʻole ke kamaʻāina ʻAmelika ke kūʻai i tiketi e hele ai i Cuba ke ʻole i laikini ʻia e ke aupuni. A ʻo ka mea e hele ana i Cuba, ʻoiai me ka laikini, hiki ke loaʻa i ka manawa paʻahao no ka uhai ʻana i ke kānāwai.
Nui nā ʻAmelika i hoʻopaʻi ʻia no ka huakaʻi ʻana i Cuba e kipa i nā hale pule, kiaʻi manu, iʻa, holo kaʻa kaʻa, kipa i nā wahi mōʻaukala a hoʻolaha paha i ka lehu o ko lākou mau mākua.
Aia ka hoʻoikaika ʻana e manaʻoʻiʻo mākou ʻo ka mākaʻikaʻi ke kumu waiwai nui o ke aupuni Cuban. Eia naʻe, ʻo ke kumu nui o ka loaʻa kālā no Cuba ʻo ke kōkua ʻaila mai Venezuela.
Eia kekahi, ua manaʻo kahi loea International Monetary Fund i ka Caribbean, me Cuba, he 15 pakeneka wale nō o ka loaʻa kālā mai ka mākaʻikaʻi e noho ma ka ʻāina. ʻO ke koena e hele i nā kaulahao hōkele, nā mokulele, nā ʻoihana huakaʻi, nā mea hoʻokele huakaʻi, nā moku holo moku, a pēlā aku.
ʻAʻohe manaʻo koʻikoʻi no ka ʻae ʻana i nā kamaʻāina US e huakaʻi i North Korea, Iran, Sudan a me Suria ʻoiai ʻaʻole e ʻae i ka huakaʻi Cuba.
Aia nō naʻe he manaʻo kūpono a koʻikoʻi ʻaʻole pono e hōʻole ʻia nā kupa o ʻAmelika i ke kuleana koʻikoʻi i mea e alualu ai i nā pahuhopu kulekele ʻē aʻe i pili ʻole i ko mākou pono aupuni.
ʻO kahi kulekele i ʻimi ʻia a pale ikaika ʻia akā ʻaʻole i hoʻokō i kāna pahuhopu i nā makahiki 50 ʻo ia ke kumu o ka hāʻule. Ua hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻo Mauricio Claver-Carone, ka lobbyist no US-Cuba PAC, i loko o kahi kolamu i hala aku nei ma The Miami Herald ʻaʻohe mea hiki ke hōʻoia i ka holomua. Akā, e like me kēlā loina, inā make ka mea maʻi i ka wā o ka hana ʻana, ʻaʻole ia he hemahema no ka mea ʻaʻohe hōʻike o ka holomua o kahi lapaʻau ʻē aʻe.
He ʻoiaʻiʻo ka poʻe kākoʻo i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka papa huakaʻi hele i Cuba i ka ʻōlelo ʻana ʻaʻohe mea hōʻoia i ka ʻae ʻana i ka huakaʻi ʻole ʻia ʻo Cuba e lawe mai i ka demokala i Cuba. ʻOiai he ʻoiaʻiʻo paha kēia, ʻaʻole ia he hoʻopaʻapaʻa kūpono no ka hoʻāʻo ʻole i kahi ʻokoʻa i kā mākou kulekele hāʻule.
ʻO ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo a ʻo ka mea nui loa ʻo ka hāpai ʻana i nā hoʻopaʻi e hōʻike i ka mahalo no kā mākou demokala ma ka home.
Eia nā mea ʻē aʻe e noʻonoʻo ʻia i ka wā e kūkākūkā ai i ka huakaʻi Cuba:
(1) ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka pāpā huakaʻi e alakaʻi ai mai hoʻokahi miliona a 3.5 miliona ʻAmelika e huakaʻi i Cuba i ka makahiki mua. Inā ʻelua miliona wale nō e hoʻohana ana i South Florida i ko lākou lele ʻana, aia he 20,000 mau huakaʻi hou, e kākoʻo ana i nā hana o kahi helu nui o Floridians e like me nā pailaka, nā kahu mokulele, nā mea holo ʻāina, nā mea lawe ukana, nā mea huakaʻi, etc. 2) He nui ka loaʻa mai nā uku mokulele. (3) E hoʻonui nui ʻia ka ʻoihana moku holo moku. (4) Hiki ke pāpālua ʻia ke kūʻai ʻana o ka mahiʻai a Florida i Cuba.
ʻO ka hāpai ʻana i ka pāpā huakaʻi i Cuba he mea koʻikoʻi e kūkākūkā ʻia me nā ʻoiaʻiʻo maoli me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka noʻonoʻo a me ke kumu, ʻaʻole wale ka manaʻo.
ʻO ka manawa kēia e hoʻohuli ʻole ʻia ke kulekele ʻo ʻAmelika e pili ana iā Cuba i ka hoʻololi aupuni, akā i ke kōkua ʻana i ka poʻe Cuban a me ka pale ʻana i nā pono a me nā kuʻokoʻa o nā ʻAmelika āpau.
ʻAʻole pono kekahi e haʻi i ka demokalaka me ke kākoʻo ʻana i nā loina undemocratic.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- But according to that logic, if a patient dies during an operation, the death would not be a failure because there is no evidence of the likely success of an alternative treatment.
- Supporters of the travel ban argue that there is no law that prohibits travel to Cuba, and that, indeed, only tourism to Cuba is presently forbidden by U.
- Supporters of lifting the travel ban to Cuba are honest in stating there are no guarantees that allowing unrestricted Cuba travel will bring democracy to Cuba.
