"Tyrannies deny us the right to be honest when they force us to applaud what we detest or reject what we secretly admire. When Cubans parade, shouting slogans they don’t believe in, they are not honest. When they applaud the leader they abhor or laugh at the nonsense he spouts, they are not honest."
