Re: Fidel Castro may die soon, for real!!
Don't tease me like this, Pride!I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

What they could do with is a gradual transition to capitalism, working Cuba's strong advantages to the max.
That isn't what they'll get. They'll end up as the Moldova of the Caribbean.Comment

Regardles of the result of this operation, I understand that Cuban medecine is supposed to be top-notch-- Surgery on an elderly patient always has elevated risks.
Apparently this Raul is in his 70s as well and is seen as a potential caretaker-successor before power would devolve down to the next generation. assuming that the communists fall on the death of Fidel is plausible but it is not necessarily what will happenYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Che is right. Castro will live to be well over one hundred years of age. Also, he will not be afraid to tell off future President Jenna Bush and Vice President Other-twin Bush."Truth against the world" - EireComment

The hipocrisy of Americans is outrageous. Everyone is making a huge deal about it and getting excited the Cubans will be free. Yet there are so many more regimes in our world worse than Castro's, and no one cares. And the whole in 'our own backyard' argument doesn't work either. Do you think people in America were celebrating when Batista was thrown out of power? He was another despicable, brutal, authoritarian dictator. But he was pro-western and capitalist, and it was okay. Now the next dictator in the same country is satan reincarnated. Did people in America celebrate when the regimes of Nicaragua, Guatemala, or El Salvador were overthrown? Of course not. They were the same capitalist, US supported regimes that no one cares about. At least Castro gave the Cubans great medicine and education, and kept it from being subject to American economic dominance."The first man who, having fenced off a plot of land, thought of saying, 'This is mine' and found people simple enough to believe him was the real founder of civil society. How many crimes, wars, murders, how many miseries and horrors might the human race had been spared by the one who, upon pulling up the stakes or filling in the ditch, had shouted to his fellow men: 'Beware of listening to this imposter; you are lost if you forget the fruits of the earth belong to all and that the earth belongs to no one." - Jean-Jacques RousseauComment
