Fidel Castro: Fighting for life

[GokuSS]

"First to all the people who said "Castro's brother" or when "Castro" is dead. I am sure you meant Fidel Castro, because Raul Castro is not "Castro's brother" but rather Fidel's brother."
I stand corrected; I meant Raul is in power.

I’m certainly no expert in the dealing of U.S. vs. Cuba relations, just a hopeful monger.
Perception is reality when it comes to U.S. politicians; our government has made it clear there can be no normalization until Fidel is gone. Regardless if Raul is better or worse than Fidel, I will not be surprised if our gov. claims victory, spins Raul into a good guy and pronounces a new age in Cuba and start the process to open travel and trade.

Miami's Cubans didn't give 2 shits about the poor in Cuba when they were living the good life under Batista and they still don't, regardless of what propaganda they try to put out ..... it's all about what they once had and hope to have again.

As for the Che-Castro issue, the urban myth in Latin American countries is Castro sold Che out to the Americans because of their differences in how things should proceed in Cuba and the "revolution" in general.

Well there's a bit of truth to that statement, he didn't sell out Che and supported him in both Africa and somewhat in Bolivia. The truth part, Fidel definitely did not see eye-to-eye with Che. Actually there was several times Fidel had to prove Che was alive to the people after he left (was asked to leave) Cuba so the hardliners didn't think Fidel had killed him.

The Castro-Che urban myth was surely released by the CIA.

Anyway, he's resurfaced again today, if only to shut up Miami's renegades...
