At 81 years old Fediel Castro plans to give up his job today.. now today the Cuban national assembly will select a new leader today.. will it be Raul Castro, 76, who has been running the country for more than a year and a half because Fidel, who has been sick. ... WE HAVE TO Wait and see...or it is a foregone conclusion...that Raul Castro will be elected and thus continue the rule of his brother Fidel...

It wasn't a job as he took it, and they aren't being elected by the people, they are assigning themselves.

This has been a sore subject to me for decades. Even when I was in Viet Nam I used to wonder why we were there fighting Comminism when we had it less than 100 miles from US soil. It would not have required a single shot to defeat Castro either,just a steady influx of Yankee Dollars would have done the trick.

So today.....50 years later,we are still waiting these ninnys out,just because a bunch of powerful Cuban-Americans are afraid of letting Capitalism run it's course. The reason is simple..Cuban-Americans want to participate in the formation of a new Cuba because they are afraid if they don't they won't have the oppurtunity to be back in their former positions of power.

They are just as sick as Castro!

The Cuban-American lobby in the US, is just as much to blame for Castro as much as any credit due, to Castro being a strong dictator and shrew political strategist. Castro, was WAY beyond all of his world peers.

1. They [Cuban-Americans] lobby in the US for the wrong reasons. The lobby to keep the sanctions, instead of lobbying for the return of democractic process to Cuba, and, they would vote to keep the embargo and the travel sanctions on Cuba- just to spite Castro and the black elite in Cuba. The black elite, who gained majority control after the revolution.

2. They were the dictatorship that Castro, with US assistance, kicked out with Baptiste- of COURSE they hate Castro. Not at all communism. But, they hate that Castro had the gall and the US support at the time, to kick them out and keep power- whether he was bolstered by the Soviet's or China. Just to show you how flippin stupid they are, Castro used US aid and where did they run? To the US. LOL....idiots.

Face it. The Cuban-American lobby are losers. They can't influence free market capitalism in Cuba, from within the country with supreme power to affect that type of change in Cuba- the USA. To be honest, they don't even want to go back home. They like the US and they know it. They would invest in Cuba, just to assist the remaining mulato and white family members that they have left, the one's that weren't lucky enough to make it on the boat lift. But, to go back to Cuba and for them, to REALLY invest in Cuban development? Their racism and love for the USA, keeps them keeping their own country of orignin "on the outside" and THAT, is the main reason, the US has not moved on Castro at any time- even though the intervened in Panama and Greneda and to some extent, Nicaragua and Trinidad (to a lesser extent, when the Commie's came to town)

Say what you like. The US may hate Castro. But, they would no sooner, let the Cubna-mafioso mentality in the USA, walk back into Cuba to do the same things, which got them kicked out on their tail ends back in the 50s. Cuba is still a majority BLACK country. They would NEVER share economic power with them in Cuba- you know it, Cuba knows it and they know it. Their case for going back to Cuba, worsened when South African blacks, broke Aparthied- no way would the world, condone an obvious train wreck waiting to happen, in allowing Cuban-Americans to go back home and distort the process.

I hope the Cuban American elite of the yester generation, NEVER see's Cuba in any form of market oriented glory- EVER. And, to hell with their generation of kids, who think in the same shallow and racist way too. I lived in Miami for a while- I know the nature of the beast.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/americas/02/24/cuba.nextpresident/index.htmlRaul Castro, who is shorter, less imposing and less charismatic than his brother, was the architect of the Cuban army and its leader for almost 50 years. As Cuba's acting president, he has kept a low profile.

I guess Castro will still be incharge.. untill he dies...
