$15/month...just think what Walmart can do there.

"But he also said Cuba was disposed to negotiate with the United States about their differences, which Dan Erikson of the Washington think tank Inter-American Dialogue said "marks a significant departure from Fidel's long-standing preference for conflict and confrontation."

Most analysts have said they expect Raul Castro, 75, to undertake gradual economic reforms to address discontent among ordinary Cubans who earn an average of just $15 a month."

Simply stated: they want America to pay Cuba's bills and and rebuild the pest hole Castro made of Cuba.

Yesterday, the CBS radio reporter in Cuba had been upbeat about the big anniversary, very eager to hear Castro speak.

Today, she sounded completely heartbroken and depressed when Castro was a no-show.

So much for the impartial media...

Wrong.. He has brain washed the people for decades..
Will take a hundred years for Cubans to recover, intellectually..

The Russians and Chinese may never recover since they have never known or had freedom at all ever.. They have always known only Mob Rule.. Democracy(being Mob Rule) is no advance politically or intellectually..

Quick, send Raul some "cigars".

Sad news indeed for the Liberals, The New York Times, and European Socialists, but exceptionally great news for those who care about the extension of human liberty. Like the coming death of Saddam, Castro's death will change the dynamic. The Liberals and the other sympathizers of Castro can shed all the tears they like, but the poor people of Cuba will be overjoyed.

[BunnySlippers]

It would be great if Castro lived long enought o see Cuban Communism fall.

If Raul is smart, he'll ditch the communism and cut a deal with the USA. Trade, development, and tourism will flood into Cuba, making him and his cronies wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.

[Wilhelm Tell]

I have a theory that Fidel Castro does not have cancer after all. Mr. Castro suffers from intestinal bleeding because for years the leftist American media have been brown-nosing him a little too deeply.

geez...won't this guy die already.....he has been hanging on dead longer than the star of weekend at bernies!!!

Through a special program I've personnally sponsored several polical refugee families from Cuba. It can be extremely rewarding but can also be an emotional roller coaster. The plain fact that generations of Cubans have been ruined but recovery will succeed. My son is currently working on a documentary about the road to new lives in the Cuban community.

I suspect there will be revenge killings as soon as Castro is gone( he will be buried in a secret place for obvious reasons). Unless the US steps in for the upcoming revolt the tourist from Europe will be in danger too.

For what it's worth I've been told Chavez has sent secret troops to Cuba...

They said illness and old age had done what 10 U.S. presidents could not, clearing the way for his brother Raul Castro to take full command of the communist island.

Make that 9 out of 10 US presidents since I doubt Jimmy Carter ever did a darned thing that would even displease the old communist dictator.
