He has always gotten way to much media coverage. He has done nothing to advance his people and his main export is Cubans themselves to other countries. His economics are in ruins because he takes everything for himself and his cronies and puts it in a Swiss bank account. I still don't understand why the media gives a shit about him for that's about all he's worth.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
A bad leader, unfortunately replaced by another bad leader communism is the worst economic policy there is because there is no economy. No trade, barter, or business means no economy, no competition means no improvement.
He is a defacto type of leader. His cronies, other military, just let him ramble on and on while they collect all the wealth.
Yea, I'm sure democracy will spread like wild fire and a new American friendly president will be elected...
Actually there are only a few countries that don't have a democracy today and only a few with communists in charge.
Compare Cuba, blockaded and harassed and undermined by the most powerful country on earth not a hundred miles away, with Haiti, propped up and helped and encouraged and liberated by that same country and get a sense of what Castro, bad as he was, accomplished. It could have gone much worse, for Cuba, these past fifty years.
Congratulations to Fidel Castro - half a century in power is unbelievable. Nobody could take this legend out. I truly hope his health improves.
Castro's health care doesn't have the supplies needed to help those that need the help because he doesn't have money to pay for the medial supplies. Free health care in Cuba is a joke and even he goes to France or elsewhere to get his own operations, did you know that?
so will the embargo stop since castro isn't in power? Or is it a communist thing and not a castro thing.
Bush has already said the policy is not about Fidel, so I don't see anything changing with regards to the embargo. Interesting to me that they called a press conference to announce this at 3 A.M. My guess: he's dead.
It IS the only communist country isn't it? Yes I know, China too but USA seems to have little problem there.
