    If the US would interfere intheir politics it would be the same as the pre-Castro era.I agreee that democracy and other freedoms would be great but they should remain untouched by US invetors who would just screw up everything there.

    Even by that Hitler would still be far behind Castro, and honestly in the grand scale of things kill Hitler is way more important then Killing Castro.

    Not to the US apparently. Apperently they have expended a vast amount more resources trying to kill Castro than they did trying to kill Hitler... what were their attempts.

    Apparently this how it goes for the united states

    "Mr.president some asshole is ruling Germany and committing mass genocide and is about to take over the world"
    "Yeah I'll deal with that later, right now im going to go jack off to porn"

    "Mr.president some asshole is running Cuba and giving them health care, education, housing, and ending racism"
    " THAT FUCKING PRICK, KILL HIM"

    Correct Batista was not a good leader, but at least we didn't starve and for the lucky few "under classes"
    could conduct our own private buisness.

    Actually now in Cuba you can, after the soviet union fell the cubans allowed it and now have 25% private businesses although like the Chinese there kept under a watchful eye but there not state owned, and once Castro dies you'll see Cuba do what the Chinese do (although in a much smaller scale) and Castro will become like Mao.

    You all do know that Fidel has given power to his brother Raul. On top of that he has not been seen in 2-Years
    after the Government said he was going to get some check-up. Rumor is that he has been liquidated and the Government
    won't admit it since they know it could cause a "problem".

    He started writing his columns again and I still believe that Castro has the ear of his brother.

    Ok im going to put down on the Castro hate thing i was doing earlier. This man either has his own newspaper
    company or is doing it for the state newspaper {PURE GUESSING} and is writing columns. Do you think it could actually be
    someone from the government that is writing all this in his name with other Government supervision? Not trying to be
    a hater or a conspirator or anything of the sorts but that is just a wee bit fishy...

    Apparently he is still alive, although I guess not for long as he is very old and of ill health.

    I truly beleive that this is all a hoaks. an do dictadors do this alot? I mean look at kim he was dead
    for like 2-weeks before they announced it. I think Fidel is dead and gone. Hate mode back on: he deserves it!!!!

    Also im pretty sure that che was the real General during the revolution, but castro never wanted to admit it since
    che was not cuban.

    No one deserves death, for it makes us no better then them if we wish it or want it on any human. Castro and Che had a great relationship and he makes references to him all the time. Also I thought it was two days for Kim, well until the state announces it we have to assume he is still alive.
