Fidel Castro

The time has come for new people to lead Cuba, I guess. They don´t really live communism there anymore anyhow.
But I was stunned seeing Castro in the news this morning, ready to get surgery. They showed an older recording of him stumbling and falling while being on stage. He broke an arm and a leg there.
He is nearly 80 years of age - it´s time to go. Will they vote? Will there be riots if they are not allowed to vote?
I remember when in April we´ve been on the cuban airport and Castro was on TV, delivering a strong speech and you could hear everybody clapping hands. Guess it was a fake, respectivly old recordings.

I hope there will be freedom for the cuban people soon and that exile Cubans can come back.

Castro's Illness

I'm not surprised it's an intestinal problem. He's been so full of it for so long it was bound to catch up with him.

I can see the headlines now: "Castro has intestinal surgery. Provisionally passes gas to brother, Raul."
