I really doubt. it. The folks in Little Cuba (aka Miami) were hoping to
celebrate Fidel's demise, but that will be awhile. Raoul was Fidels's
"exterminator" for a lot of years. I'm sure no good will come of it.

Country: | A little like watching one of those Eastern European countries collapse at the end of the Soviet Era back in the late 80s, early 90s. Except this time, you don't need to run to the map every time Reuters puts out a news flash. Everybody on this side of the pond knows where Cuba is.
If Fidel is quitting, he's close to checking out. If he goes, the majic is gone (if it isn't already) and Raul is not long for the power spot. Give it a year, maybe two. World is moving forward fast and Cuba is stuck way back in the middle of the last century. With all the growth in the Carribean, it can't stay that way forever. | |

Country:  | Actually Cuba is not at all stuck back in time , I 've vacationed there a few times and the people are fat and happy willing to talk about anything . I'm not prone to stay in the resort areas but I wander around , watched a few ball games etc

Country:  | His brother is worse than he is in my opinion. He seems to be more hardline that Castro was.
Right now is the time for the Cuban people to stand up and take there country back. It wont happen though.
