The best gift a dictator thug can get is to be an American enemy. Especially if he is brought to power with the American help. It did not worked quiete well for Saddam, Noriega, Shah, but worked like charm for Fidel and Ho Chi Minh.

When he was a kid, Fidel wrote a letter to FDR and asked for $5 note to see "how American money looks like".

It was a beginning of a very fruitful cooperation, paid by the millions of Cubans.

Castro will die of boredom, Before he dies, he will probably give highway salute towards JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, as well as to Jimmuh, Poppy, BJ and W, his business partners.

The thug outlasted them all.
