It seems to me that all of Cuba is waiting for Castro to die. It cannot come too soon.

PENSIONERS in Cuba are being left to starve in government-run homes as food shortages caused by inefficient distribution and drought sweep one of the world’s last communist strongholds.The liberal perception of Tahiti, who would have thunk it?

Eight Presidents. GW Bush is Castro's 9th.
Soviet Leaders? I think 6?

Someone call Steven Spielberg, Danny Glover, and the rest of that Castro-loving mob of airheads.

I bet you won't hear a peep about this, from them, except to blame it on W.

I have had a feeling for a couple of years that a second term for Bush will equal freedom for Cuba. He may have been toppled by now if all those left wing celebrities had not spent years kissing his ass.

How French of them.
To: MadIvan
I bet Castro is eating good.
The "people's revolution" sure did right by him!
To: MadIvan
Well they may be hungry, but I've read that they have a great government run free healthcare system.

Given his approval of the CFR assault on the First Amendment, his first term didn't even equal freedom for the USA.
He won't do anything proactive; he's just waiting for that old bastard Castro to die, like the rest of us.

Recall his doctor just said he could live till he's 120 or something like that.
By that time, Chelsea Clinton might be President.
God help us all then.

I'm generally in sympathy with measures intended to help bring down Castro, but the limit on family visits seems overly harsh to me. Once every three years, with no humanitarian exceptions? If your Mom's dying in Cuba, you have to time your trip exactly right (as if anyone could). I don't like that part a bit.
