Cuba After Castro: Does The Devil You Know Beat The One You Don't?

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.

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

He is a much worse version of Castro. He takes everything from his people and should be taken out of power

I never relized that before, I mean helping castro getting elected nearly caused WWIII in 1963 with soviet missile crisis, Giving Saddam bio weapons in the '80's causing the current war, oh and helping the Taliban fight the Soviets in the '80's as well, who knows maby the russians would have wiped them out if we didn't supply them guns and HEAT-SEEKING MISSILES i.e. the stinger rocket launcher. I think our next "friend" will be a middle eastern or latin american rebel group that comes back to bite us in the ass.

Cuba still lets the USA use Guantanamo bay as a Navy base, and the States had to ask and recieve permission to house prisoners there. I suspect there might be closer ties than either side admits. ?But then again I am just a paranoid conspiracy theorist.

Cuba -- will that bug ever get squashed.  Americans have had a presence in Cuba since the Eisenhower Administration.   We are on Cuban soil; hence, anything done to anyone on Cuban soil is not covered under the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or the Geneva Convention Rules on Prisoners of War.\n\nAs long as America ships prisoners to countries that are not obliged to honor the Constitution, prisoners can be treated any way the captors want to treat them.  So, does that make the prisoners in Cuba any less "terrorists?"  We will never know.  \n\nI don't know if you understand this or not-----"you do know this, right?"----but America is no longer run by the people, of the people, and for the people.  America is being run by, of, and for the corporations who can pay enough money to keep this war going so they can get rich on the government contracts George Bush is giving to all the people he bankrupted in Texas.  I guess that's one way to pay off your debts!\n\nIt's sad, though, that the lives of honorable, courageous, and loyal Americans are being bought and sold to the highest bidder in the Bush Administration.

Cuba did have a couple minor league teams - the Havana Cubans, from 1946-53 (in the Florida International League) and the Havana Sugar Kings (International League) from 1954-1960.  Castro's revolution made the team unfeasible.  Currently, the trade embargo prevents any teams affiliated with US interests from locating there.  Once that embargo is lifted (probably after Castro dies), it's quite possible that a team would locate there.

I'm no expert, but most of the Cuban people seem to like American culture enough to push consensus to accept Democracy. There may be figures in the military that want to take the reigns like Castro did, so that may be a potential source of conflict. But if the US really wants to impose it's will, they can really pressure a new guy in different, more direct ways. Especially since Russia doesn't have their back anymore.

Because of the strategic position of Cuba, the United States possessed it at the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898, and later leased the property for a military base.  The United States has continued to do so even into Castro's reign, presumably because it did not want to relinquish such a strategic position, it did not want to give up the improvements it had made, and because it does not really affect Castro's power.  Castro has only cashed one rent check from the United States anyway.

What is your nation?\nAnyway, i don't think that Fidel or Cuba are threatening anybody. They are just a pain in the butt for US. However i do not see a Cuban invasion to the states in the near future....Maybe tomorrow, when i'll be less tired.

batista was a tyrant worse than castro. that's why we helped castro gain power in cuba.  then he befriended the soviets, and that's when we cut off diplomatic relations with cuba.

The United States never annexed Cuba. You may be thinking of Puerto Rico, which was won from Spain in the Spanish-American War.

certainly,cuba is for Cubans, Germany is for the Germans; and so forth, why espouse democracy,independence and self reliance  to the people of the World when in reality these are not being practiced. These are only rhetorics a misnomer
