Pretty hard to say, at this point in time, that Fidel has not gotten the last laugh, the last word, etc.
He will have likely outlasted eleven presidents. Americans have long idolized Castro, but many were too shy to say so.
***He overthrew the previous government and has been titular head of Cuba for 57 years.***
Fifty seven years after the American Revolution the USA was an up and coming economic power using FREE ENTERPRISE.
Fifty seven years after the Communist takeover of Cuba they are still trying to make La Revol-o-o-cion work.
Please, Fidel, take George Soros with you.
