If we look at the past, we see that before the Revolution, Cuba was not a regular stop for U.S. secretaries of state or other high-ranking officials from that neighboring country. Bilateral relations were overseen not by someone of John Kerry\u2019s rank but by subordinates, surely because of our country\u2019s quasi-colonial status. The most recent such visits recorded were in 1940, when Cordell Hull came to attend a regional foreign ministers\u2019 meeting, and in 1945, when Edward Stettinius visited, a trip recounted in an article published online by <em>OnCuba<\/em>. Some have tried to confer these visits with an imaginary pro-democratic connotation, claiming that both indicated \u201cU.S. support for Cuban democracy.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> Actually, nothing could be further from the truth.<\/p>\n<p>From a Cuban perspective, the most important aspect of Kerry\u2019s visit was that contrary to what had been the case in the past, the U.S. government put its emphasis on highlighting the (mutually) constructive climate and respect for this new stage in bilateral relations. It is evident that what happened on Aug. 14 was something agreed upon by two sovereign states, including questions of substance, such as the Secretary of State\u2019s speech and his joint press conference with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodr\u00edguez, as well as smaller matters, such as placing three old American automobiles on the Malec\u00f3n right in the middle of Cuban territory.<\/p>\n<p>The most significant concrete agreement made was the creation of a bilateral commission that opens the way to normalization. This measure is intelligent and indispensable.<\/p>\n<p>John Kerry\u2019s speech at the flag-raising ceremony is an expression of the new U.S. policy toward Cuba at this time. The length of this article does not allow more than two comments on that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Kerry-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-56035 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Kerry-1.jpg\" alt=\"Alain L.

The speech provides us with two contradictory keys, one of them not very happy: \u201cAnd indeed, we remain convinced the people of Cuba would be best served by genuine democracy, where people are free to choose their leaders, express their ideas, practice their faith; where the commitment to economic and social justice is realized more fully; where institutions are answerable to those they serve; and where civil society is independent and allowed to flourish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The supposition behind this formulation is that the United States has the right to judge who has or does not have a \u201cgenuine democracy.\u201d Given our common history and the realities of today\u2019s world, this is an illusory belief. However, Kerry clarified that \u201cU.S. policy is not the anvil on which Cuba\u2019s future will be forged.\u201d This latter statement more aptly describes what should happen.<\/p>\n<p>My second comment has to do with a concept very much quoted in the media: \u201cWe are certain that the time is now to reach out to one another, as two peoples who are no longer enemies or rivals, but neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We have always been neighbors. Being neighbors is a situation that is imposed on us by geography. But you can be a good neighbor or not. In this sense, it\u2019s worth remembering a verse from a well-known poem by Robert Frost, <em>The Mending Wall<\/em>: \u201cGood fences make good neighbors\u201d.
