There is NO doubt we have taken his rule for granted.  And there is no doubt the state dept incorrectly thinks there will be a "crack in the armor".  Let's face it they haven't done a very good job on foreign policy.\n\nI believe Castro's brother Raul would be the new dictator.\n\nI actually believe we should normalize relations now to martyr Castro making his successor less powerful.

Cuba was very much a  playground for wealthy foreigners and run by the mafia. Castro kicked them out and gave Cuba an excellent health and education programme. For many Cubans he has been a huge success. He has been very badly treated by America who have tried to destroy the country by trade embargoes. This has failed -and should have stopped long ago.

Castro is probably the most (in)famous communist alive today, particularly in the US.  He's recognizable by a big bushy beard and a green shirt/army fatigues (and holding a Cuban flag doesn't hurt).  Here's a picture:

I think Fidel's brother Raul is still hanging around. The Cuban Politburo might just go for him.

Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz (pron. IPA: [fidel alexandro kastro rus]; born August 13, 1926) has been the leader of Cuba since 1959, when, leading the 26th of July Movement, he overthrew the regime of Fulgencio Batista. In the years that followed he oversaw the transformation of Cuba into the first Communist state in the Western Hemisphere.\nCastro first attracted attention in Cuban political life through his student activism. His outspoken nationalism, and radical critique of Batista and US corporate and political influence in Cuba, brought a receptive following as well as criticism, together with attention from the authorities. Later, his leadership of the 1953 attack on the Moncada Barracks, subsequent exile, and eventual guerrilla invasion of Cuba in December 1956 cemented his fame worldwide. Since his accession to power in 1959, he has maintained a high, and controversial, profile. Inciting much condemnation, praise and debate, Castro is a highly controversial leader who is viewed as a dictator by some while others see him as a legitimate and popular leader.\nInternationally, after the failed American-directed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961, his leadership has been marked by tensions with the United States, a close partnership with the Soviet Union (resulting in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis) until its collapse in 1991, and foreign intervention in many countries of the third world. Domestically, he has overseen the implementation of land reform followed by the collectivization of agriculture, nationalization of leading Cuban industries, and the availability of free health care and free education.\nIn the event of sickness or death, Castro would likely be succeeded by Vice President, Raúl Castro, his brother.\n\nEarly life\nCastro was born into a wealthy farming family in Birán, near Cueto, Holguín Province (formerly Oriente Province) and not far from the birthplace of Fulgencio Batista, the man whose government he was to overthrow. The son of a former colonial soldier Ángel Castro y Argiz (and immigrant (after 1898) from Galicia, Spain) and his cook, Lina Ruz González, Castro has two brothers: Ramón, who has a position in the agriculture department and is said to run the family estates; and half-brother Raúl, the Cuban defense minister.Castro also has at least one other sibling, his sister Juanita, who lives in the United States. In summary his family situation was complex his siblings include Ramón, Lidia, Pedro Emilio, Ángela, Raúl, Juana, Emma, and Agustina\n\nAs for aspirations of his future career, according to Georgie Anne Geyer (1991), one of Castro's first and most quoted biographers, the dominating factor in Castro’s life is hatred for the United States, a claim confirmed by his first wife and others (Raffy, 2003). His antipathy toward America can be traced in significant part to his childhood. Castro is the illegitimate child of Angel Castro (1875-1956), an illiterate Spaniard from Galicia, Spain, who went to Cuba as a private with the Spanish army to fight against the United States. He was the paid substitute for the son of a wealthy Spaniard. The elder Castro fought in that “splendid little war” against the Cuban George Washington, José Martí, in the eastern-most province of Santiago (where Martí died and three years later Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders also fought); Castro studiously avoids talking about his father’s participation in the war against Cuba’s founding fathers (Fuentes, 2004).\n\nEducation\n\nCastro was educated at Jesuit and La Salle Christian Brothers Schools private schools in Santiago de Cuba and the Colegio de Belén in Havana, graduating in 1945. He would later expel the faculty from Cuba, like many other priests and religious figures, and have the schools property nationalized. After high school, Castro enrolled at the University of Havana to study law. Here he joined the Union Insurreccional Revolucionaria (UIR, the Insurrectional Revolutionary Union)

I have been planning to start with Cuba.  Castro is getting old, if you write him a convincing enough letter, he may leave it to you in his will.  The weather is nice and if managed well the natural resources could make the Island self-sufficient.  Set up as a vacationland for wealthy Americans, use casinos to separate the wealth from the tourist.

Ok . There serveral thing that he need to do.\n\nFirstly, he need to report to his MO( medical Officer) at his camp. Report about his sickness.\n\nSecondly, he need to talk to his CO (commanding officer) about his sickness and causes of it. If it due to work stress he might be attached to another department or unit.\n\nThis is very important please tell him to go proper chain of command because he might be charged for not declaring his sickness. If need any help contact me or email me.

first , for complaints.... go to...\n\nhttp://hrw.org/english/docs/2005/01/13/cuba9848.htm\n\nthen\nhttp://www.cubanet.org/CNews/y06/jun06/20e5.htm\n\nfor more info on this here .....\n\nEXCERPT FROM THE NET>>>SOURCE HAS BEEN GIVEN\n\n\nThe term "terrorism," in practice, means the terrorism that THEY carry out against US. And the U.S. is not alone in this practice - it is probably close to universal. Cuba is certainly not alone in being treated this way. There is very rich literature documenting the practice generally.... Even the orders of the World Court calling on the U.S. to terminate its "unlawful use of force" (i.e., international terrorism, or maybe even aggression) against Nicaragua, and the supporting Security Council resolution (vetoed by the US), are unknown [in the U.S.], and if brought up, dismissed as proof that the Court is "anti-American" and irrelevant. The Cuban case is unusual because it is so clear, certainly since JFK ordered his staff to launch "the terrors of the earth" against Cuba....\n--Noam Chomsky, September, 2002\n\nTo understand the politics of Cuba, it is necessary to understand the role of the US in Latin America and elsewhere. By examining the history of the US aggression and intervention, we can see clearly the motives that have driven its foreign policy and what it is capable of given the motive and opportunity. It will then be easy to see why the Cuban people must take what seem to us to be extraordinary measures to counter this threat. For them, it is truly a matter of life and death. Recent developments -- shifts in popular opinion in the US, etc. -- are the basis for some optimism that Cuba/US relations may soon improve. Cubans must, however, exercise extreme caution if they are not to meet a fate similar to that of the former USSR, Yugoslavia and others. As William Blum states in the introduction to his recent essay, US Aggression and Intervention, in The Guardian (CPA), \n\nThe engine of American foreign policy has been fueled not by a devotion to any kind of morality, but by the necessity to serve other imperatives: \n\nto make the world safe for American corporations; \nto enhance the financial statements of defence contractors at home who have contributed generously to members of Congress; \nto prevent the rise of any society that might serve as a successful example of an alternative to the capitalist model; \nto extend political and economic hegemony over as wide an area as possible, as befits a 'great power'. \n\nit will come as no surprise to readers that some international organizations, do not see Cuba as democracy. Following is a rebuttal of a typical criticism of the Cuban electoral based on an excerpt (in italics) from a report on human rights in Cuba by a commission of the Organization of American States (OAS). The section entitled "Elections for the National Assembly of People's Power and the Provincial Assemblies" begins:\n\nThe American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man establishes the right to vote and to participate in government at Article XX, in the following terms. \nArticle XX. Every person having legal capacity is entitled to participate in the government of his country, directly or through his representatives, and to take part in popular elections, which shall be by secret ballot, and shall be honest, periodic and free.\n\n38. Political rights, as considered by the Declaration, have two clearly distinguishable aspects: the right to directly exercise power, i.e., to participate in government; and the right to elect those who are to exercise it, i.e., the right to vote. This presupposes a broad conception of representative democracy, based on popular sovereignty, in which the functions by which power is exercised are performed by persons chosen in free and fair elections.\n\nThis is the case in Cuba. In addition to having the right to vote, every Cuban of voting age has an equal opportu
