Hopefully when the time comes, he dies out of state. If he dies in Cuba he may live forever....

As far as we can tell he may as well be brain dead. His brother is running things day to day anyway.

Well, Raul stepped in as figurehead. The administration in Cuba has been prepping for this for a long, long time now.

Castro has really just been a symbol for some time anyway.

Hopefully?? Why? You already found a few other `enemies´ in the meanwhile right?
You don't care about Castro now that you have Chavez or am I wrong?


.... sorry for my reaction...I just spend three weeks in Jesusland so I have got a bit of an overload of patriotism and stupidity.:D

Ok, now I am relaxed again.

seeing that the source was 'some people from Miami' I wouldn't take this news too serious.

Potholes and fruit flies are a bigger concern to me than Castro or Chavez, but I imagine the people in those countries could do better.

I'm just looking for those cool Cuban "Save the Planet" sandals in the US somewhere.

You are right.I think free trade and no boycots would do wonders for them. The only thing the US is doing for Cubans now is keeping hard drugs illegal so that once the flee the country they can make some nice money in Miami.

Come on. Big talk from somebody from a country in which many people don't have maps.

Eppie, what the hell does that have to do with anything in this thread?

Oh, wait, it doesn't. You're just baiting people into an argument for no reason. Again.

The same as plastic shoes have.

But if you find it all right to complain about a country you (or me) haven't been to (or maybe you went once to lie on the beach) whereas I cannot post things about a country that I have been to many times, than I will stop now.

And you know my position. I know that the thread was posted as just the notification of a fact or rumour, but I have been around here long enough that many people find it amusing to continue saying how bad some countries are. I think that (if you are American) discussing about how bad Castro is, him being leader of 'an enemy state', knowing that your governments pays journalists in Miami and Cuba to write what it (your government) wants so knowing that you will have no correct information, and that this same country suffers from boycots imposed by your country, just does not make sense. I mean you might be right, the things that are said about Cuba might be true, but to put it nicely, the source is not very reliable.
