1AC WakeTournament: Wake | Round: 2 | Opponent: Pace LS | Judge: Shane Stafford Doug Bandow, senior fellow at the Cato Institute and the author of a number of books on economics and politics. He writes regularly on military non-interventionism, “Time to End the Cuba Embargo,” December 11, 2012. http://nationalinterest.org/commentary/the-pointless-cuba-embargo-7834 During the Cold War, Cuba offered a potential advanced military outpost for the Soviet Union. Indeed, that role led to the Cuban missile crisis. With the failure of the U.S.-supported Bay of Pigs invasion, economic pressure appeared to be Washington’s best strategy for ousting the Castro dictatorship…“The sanctions on the regime must remain in place and, in fact, should be strengthened, and not be altered.” One of the best definitions of insanity is continuing to do the same thing while expecting to achieve different results. THE EMBARGO’S PURPOSE IS TO DEGRADE THE PEOPLE OF CUBA. DR LOUIS PEREZ, PROFESSOR OF HISTORY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, EXPLAINS IN 2010 THAT Dr. Louis A. Perez Jr., the J. Carlyle Sitterson professor of history and the director of the Institute for the Study of the Americas at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Want change in Cuba? End U.S. embargo, September 21, 2010, http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/09/20/perez.cuba.embargo/index.html Fine words. But if the administration really wanted to do something in the national interest, it would end the 50-year-old policy of political and economic isolation of Cuba. ? THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS POLICY ISOLATE CUBA FROM THE INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL ECONOMY, ALL THE WHILE PERPETUATING HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES. DOCTOR ALBERTO COLL DEATAILS IN 2007 THAT Dr. Alberto R. Coll, duel PH. D. and JD from the university of Virginia, Professor of Law and President of International Human Rights Law Institute at DePaul College of Law, formerly of Georgetown University’s department of international relations, Harming Human Rights in the Name of Promoting Them: The Case of the Cuban Embargo, 2007, UCLA Journal of International Law and Foreign Affairs, Fall, 12 UCLA J. Intand#39;l L. and For. Aff. 199 The Cuban embargo is not a limited set of economic sanctions affecting a few carefully targeted areas of Cubaand#39;s government and society. Instead, it is a comprehensive program that prohibits virtually all American trade, investment, travel, cultural and human contact with Cuba outside of a few narrow exceptions… AND DENIAL OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE FACE SURVIVAL SUBVERTS THE VALUE TO LIFE. DR. DANIEL CALLAHAN EXPLAINS IN HIS 1973 BOOK Daniel Callahan, Co-founder and former director of The Hastings Institute, PhD in philosophy from Harvard University,“The Tyranny of Survival” 1973, p 91-93 There seems to be no imaginable evil which some group is not willing to inflict on another for the sake of survival, no rights, liberties or dignities which it is not ready to suppress. It is easy, of course, to recognize the danger when survival is falsely and manipulatively invoked…It would be the Pyrrhic victory to end all Pyrrhic victories Yet it would be the defeat of all defeats if, because human beings could not properly manage their need to survive, they succeeded in not doing so. CONTENTION TWO: PRIDE COMES BEFORE THE FALL Silvia Ayuso, professor at the University of Navarra IESE Business School, “ANALYSIS: Lifting Cubaand#39;s embargo, a domestic taboo for the US”, 5 Feb 2012 http://article.wn.com/view/2012/02/05/ANALYSIS_Lifting_Cubas_embargo_a_domestic_taboo_for_the_US/#/related_news Half a century and nine US presidents later, Republican presidential hopefuls have faced the same dilemma in recent days. Indeed, 50 years after the US trade embargo on communist Cuba was made virtually complete, the island just 150 kilometres off the coast of Florida remains almost a political obsession for the United States…A second Obama administration might make some move on the travel ban, on oil exploration-related investment and trade,and#39; he said. and#39;But ending the embargo is not in the near term.and#39; AND THE UNITED STATES HAS FURTHER ISOLATED ITSELF FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITIES’ CRIES TO END THE EMBARGO. CAROL J. WILLIAMS, FOREIGN CORRESPONDANT FOR THE LA TIMES, WRITES IN 2012 Carol J. Williams, Los Angeles Times international affairs writer. Former foreign correspondent, 25 years covering Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East., Widely condemned U.S. policy on Cuba unlikely to change soon, 11/16/12, http://articles.latimes.com/2012/nov/16/world/la-fg-wn-us-cuba-embargo-20121115 / Washington and Havana have taken baby steps over the last four years to end some of the more destructive elements of their relationship, like a U.S. prohibition against Cuban Americansand#39; visiting their homeland more than once every three years and Cubaand#39;s demand that citizens get exit visas to go abroad…and#34;Given the economic challenges that our country faces domestically and the foreign policy challenges around the world, some of which are very acute,and#34; Peters said, and#34;there is no way in the world that Cuba is going to be a front-burner issue for President Obama in his second term.and#34; THUS CONOR AND I SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING PLAN: THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASE ITS ECONOMIC ENGAGEMENT TOWARD CUBA BY REPEALING THE CUBAN DEMOCRACY ACT, THE LIBERTAD ACT , AND THE CACR. FURTHERMORE, CONGRESS SHOULD REMOVE CUBA FROM THE TRADING WITH THE ENEMY ACT. FINALLY, CONGRESS SHOULD AMEND THE FOREIGN ASSISTANCE ACT TO INCORPORATE CUBA INTO THE US SPONSORED ECONOMIC AID PROGRAMS. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DEFINE TERMS AND CLARIFY INTENT. CONTENTION THREE: LOVE THY NEIGHBOR Matias F. Travieso-Diaz, J.D., Columbia University School of Law, Ph.D., The Ohio State University, LIFTING THE CUBAN EMBARGO: THE NEW LABORS OF HERCULES?, 2009, http://www.ascecuba.org/publications/proceedings/volume19/pdfs/traviesodiaz.pdf Whatever the motivating factor, once the decision is made by at least one of the branches of government that the embargo should be lifted or modified, there are several actions that must be taken. First, the rest of the government has to support the proposed action.¶ Second, all the statutory bases for the embargo must be removed or amended, including the Trading with the Enemy Act, the Foreign Assistance Act, the Cuban Democracy Act, and the LIBERTAD Act…Finally, the Federal government should establish an advisory group to help identify the problems that will be posed by Cuba’s transition to a free-market democratic society, develop a unified strategy to assist Cuba in resolving those problems, and draft the necessary implementing laws and regulations. Those interested in a smooth transition process should be represented and heavily involved in these efforts. AND ENDING THE EMBARGO WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN STOPPING HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES AND THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO STOP THE EXTREME POVERTY IN CUBA. BANDOW EXPLAINS THAT… Doug Bandow, senior fellow at the Cato Institute and the author of a number of books on economics and politics. He writes regularly on military non-interventionism, “Time to End the Cuba Embargo,” December 11, 2012. http://nationalinterest.org/commentary/the-pointless-cuba-embargo-7834 Ending the embargo would have obvious economic benefits for both Cubans and Americans. The U.S. International Trade Commission estimates American losses alone from the embargo as much as $1.2 billion annually. Expanding economic opportunities also might increase pressure within Cuba for further economic reform. So far the regime has taken small steps, but rejected significant change…Of course, there are no guarantees. But lifting the embargo would have a greater likelihood of success than continuing a policy which has failed. Some day the Cuban people will be free. Allowing more contact with Americans likely would make that day come sooner. THE TIME IS NOW, US ACTION IS SPECIFICALLY NECESSARY. KATRINA VANDEN HUEVEL, EDITOR OF THE NATION CONCLUDES IN 2013 THAT… Katrina Vanden Huevel, editor, publisher, and part-owner of the magazine The Nation, The US Should end the Cuban Embargo, July 2, 2013, http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-07-02/opinions/40316090_1_embargo-limited-private-enterprise-odebrecht Is there a greater example of utter folly than America’s superannuated policy toward Cuba? During more than 50 years corrupted by covert actions, economic sabotage, travel bans and unending embargo, the United States managed to make Castro and Cuba an international symbol of proud independence…The intelligence agencies and the embittered and aging Cuban refugees may never acknowledge the world as it is. But it is long past time for the United States to turn to a policy that will engage Cuba rather than isolate ourselves. WE END OUR AFFIRMATIVE WITH CONTENTION FOUR: REVELATION Nicholas Rescher, University of Pittsburgh Professor of Philosophy, “Risk: A Philosophical Introduction to the Theory of Risk Evaluation and Management” 1983 A probability is a number between zero and one. Now numbers between zero and one can get to be very small indeed: As N gets bigger, 1/N will grow very, very small. What, then, is one to do about extremely small probabilities in the rational management of risks?...The worst threat is certainly something to be borne in mind and taken into account, but it is emphatically not a satisfactory index of the overall seriousness or gravity of a situation of hazard. SECOND ARE THE STANDARDS FOR EVALUATING ARGUMENTATION: ALL ARGUMENTS SHOULD BE: A. Specific to the policy at hand: Ending the cuban embargo A. STOP CONJURING BOGEYMEN – failing to adhere to our standards creates policies based on fear rather than reason and magnifies policy paralysis. Bruce Schneier details in May 2010: Thereand#39;s a certain blindness that comes from worst-case thinking. An extension of the precautionary principle, it involves imagining the worst possible outcome and then acting as if it were a certainty. It substitutes imagination for thinking, speculation for risk analysis and fear for reason. It fosters powerlessness and vulnerability and magnifies social paralysis…It lets lazy or biased people make what seem to be cogent arguments without understanding the whole issue. And when people donand#39;t need to refute counterarguments, thereand#39;s no point in listening to them. B. EDUCATION: by adhering to this high standard of argumentation, we elevate the educational value of all arguments allowing for the most real world appraisal of actions Finally, We have no illusions that the adoption of plan will yield rediscovery of the Garden of Eden or the establishment of world peace until the end of time, rather simply provide human dignity and basic economic means to the eleven million people of the island of Cuba. Since the advent of nuclear weapons, no event has led to nuclear conflict--neither Korea and Vietnam, nor September 11 or Iraq. Most importantly, if the Cuban Missile Crisis did not escalate to nuclear exchange neither shall the embargo being lifted. Jonathan Tepperman details in 2009: Jonathan Tepperman formerly Deputy Managing Editor of Foreign Affairs, is Assistant Managing Editor at Newsweek. Published Aug 29, 2009 (“Why Obama Should Learn to Love the Bomb” http://www.newsweek.com/id/214248/page/1) These efforts are all grounded in the same proposition: that, as Obama has said several times, nuclear weapons represent the and#34;gravest threatand#34; to U.S. security. This argument has a lot going for it. Itand#39;s strongly intuitive, as anyone whoand#39;s ever seen pictures of Hiroshima or Nagasaki knows…The logic of nuclear peace rests on a scary bargain: you accept a small chance that something extremely bad will happen in exchange for a much bigger chance that something very bad—conventional war—wonand#39;t happen. This may well be a rational bet to take, especially if that first risk is very small indeed. But itand#39;s a tough case to make to the public. | 9/9/13 |
