Colonel Ernesto Asbert states that the revolutionaries are not in arms for the purpose of waging capricious warfare, but that the attitude of the Cuban government, which is using the most reprehensible means to keep itself in power, has forced them to take this position. Asbert values efforts to establish peace that have arisen without further bloodshed. The revolutionists will maintain their position while parties attempt to find a solution, accepting with resignation the consequences this may bring. They prefer a new American intervention that will guarantee future legal elections.
