I bet it's to much to hope for that Raul is better person than Fidel..............I expect a bloodbath when he finally is announced to be dead.

Will Fidel die more times than Pope John Paul or Yassar Arafat, or Saddam Hussein?
Saddam was killed 3 times before we finally captured him.
Yassar died a dozen times before they finally did bury him.

I believe it was when Ronald Reagan or Bob Hope died, comedian Phyllis Diller was being interviewed on CNN. She laughed at them, because they had run her obit on their website.

He longs for a return of the luster of the jewel of the Caribbean. Cuba was messed up before Castro came along, and of course is even worse now. It will take a lot of effort to turn it into a good place after he is gone.

I absolutely do not understand all the celebration.
One less communist dictator scumbag will walk the earth. Thats reason enough.
He's turned power over to his ruthless brother, Raul. Are things suddenly going to get better? Is he some kind of reformer? Will the communist state end in the near future?
The wishful thinking is that Raul does not have the ability to maintain the cult of personality that has allowed his brother to survive in office for 48 years. Fidels death will open the door to rebellion and, eventually, to freedom.

I will have to check my online betting site and see if they have anything about Castro... you can bet on just about anything else, that's for sure!
My wife got a $5 sports book bet tokin after making a $25 deposit into a poker room, and she has that account up to $119 from betting Nascar!

About a week or two ago there were reports that Castro had died. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen him make a public appearance since then. Is it possible that Castro DID die a while ago and this surgury is a set-up to break the news slowly and make the transition of power to Castro's brother smooth?
(I'm not a conspiracy theorist really! I'm just curious if anyone thinks this might be possible?)

Too bad this isn't Castro's doctor.
"Wanna know something? I'm a bad doctor. I'm not boasting. I mean, who would? Just stating a fact that I've never really gotten the hang of the whole healing-the-sick thing. And don't interpret this as some sort of false modesty. No, I'm homogeneously unqualified to practice medicine in any capacity. I *really* don't have a clue. And no one could be more shocked than me that I've been allowed to rise to a position of such importance and responsibility."
"But I don't worry about it. I figure, how far can you coast on charm? Well, pretty far, actually!"

Raul and Ché were bigger commies than Fidel. However, Fidel had the charisma.

If federal funding of fetal stem cell research had been permitted by the Bush administration, Fidel Castro would still be walking. < /sarc >

Osama and Fidel are alive, and Elvis is dead. There is no justice.
To: Sunshine Sister
I was just talking to my friend whose husband is of Cuban descent (his parents immigrated to the US before Castro was in power). Anyway, we were talking about this very thing and she shook her head and said she didn't think anything would change under Raul, as he was a communist just like his brother and they were cut from the same cloth.

I want 6 August, 3:00 PM. This is just like one of those "where's the cow gonna poop?" lotteries only even more exciting...
To: John David Powell
Fidel castro may have had a gastric ulcer or bleeding through the colon area.. At at that age it is very difficult for him to survive but not impossible.. Even if he does survive he may have great additional complications...Like pain. Lots of pain. A bit of karmic justice for all of the political prisoners in Castro's jails who suffered hot pokers and/or electric prods in their colons.
