I seem to remember that when Castro first assumed power that his brother was more radical than he was.
Raúl Castro Ruz (born June 3, 1931) is the second ranking member of the Cuban Council of State. The youngest brother of Cuban President Fidel Castro, he has been appointed to the positions: Vice President of the Council of Ministers, First Vice President of the Council of State of Cuba, Vice-Secretary of the Politburo and the Central Committe of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), and Maximum General of the Armed Forces (Army, Navy, and Air Force), second to the Commander in Chief, Fidel Castro. According to the Cuban Constitution Article 94, the First Vice President of the Council of State, a position presently held by Raúl Castro, is first in line of succession upon the illness or death of the president.
Raul is a freakin 'Tard. Deee De Deee. But he is a vicious one.
