Fidel Castro Has Resigned!

I got a question... If Castro and company truly thought that USA was the greatest threat to mankind, would your views of him still be the same?

Now remember, this guy came to power because the US elitist took complete advantage of the cuban island in the 50-60's and made it a nastier version of the debauchery that happens in vegas, at the cost of Cuban civilians dignity.

Always remember the Cause.

erm, is that not the same point why spoilt brat leftists in the west idolised him so much?

50 years ago, and the Cubans have had no dignity under this dictator since

yep, the cause was hate and power, from Castro and his filthy communist cronies

Why do you blame Castro so much for the economic conditions in Cuba? You seem to have no idea what trade sanctions can do to a country. It ain't pretty and he was no business man. You all knew it was going to be a hard time when you supported him in 59.

A large portion of the rest of the world trades with Cuba. The US is in a distinct minority where a trade embargo is concerned...

You'd have to be ignorant of world economics to beleive this wouldn't have a major effect. The carribean and central american markets depend on the U.S.

I guess you had to be there. Sure, the Maffia ran all the casinos and gave kick backs to Batista, but as a whole, we had a good way of life in Cuba, there were jobs, and of course, i was of the high class. I say of course, because there was NO middle class.
I went to the finest school money could buy, and enjoyed a wonderful childhood under Batista.
In comes Fidel and he screwed it up for everyone- suddenly nobody had anything. The poor got poorer, and the rich had it all taken away from them.
Remember, the Cuban people had NO IDEA he was communist at first.

I can still remember the taste of Russian canned food, whatever it was!

Why should the US trade with a communist monster like him?

they shut him off, sure, in the process, they hurt many but hey, he had to be castigated if not castrated.

I hope if he is dead they drove a steak thru his heart just to ensure it being permanent.

Because Castro is not Cuba just as Bush is not America. To not trade with a whole nation because of its figurehead only harms innocent people. And I see this being blamed on Castro a whole lot. The real problem is the arrogant snubish policies of the frightened capitalists.

Well you do have a point there, however, all those who stayed were WITH Fidel, so i guess if we're going to compare that to America and all Bushies remain here and the anti=
Bush's left, then it would be well deserved here too. But i do see your point. I'm very passionate when it comes to Cuba.

The US does indeed have a profound effect on the Caribean and Central American region. That much is true.

The regions mentioned also have a habit, a good one, of going their own way. Many of them trade with Cuba, most of Europe does, etc...

Personally? The trade embargo was foolishness. It never hurt the guy/guys it was aimed at. He is/was fabulously wealthy by all accounts, dictators are very seldom, if ever, bothered by the fact that their people have nothing. He wasn't. Despite decades of rhetorical flourishes saying otherwise...

I'd imagine those sanctions were designed to force the people into revolt. Well that was plan B after "bay of pigs" failed.

It seems to me the sanctions were aimed at demeaning any fruitful revolution. To ensure capitalism would be the only true example of wealth and happiness. According to most posts, I think it worked perfecty.

They never had a chance.

To both of you...

Of course that's what the sanctions were aimed at doing...that goes without saying.

But for someone who had the best interests of the Cuban people at heart, he did exceedingly well out of it, don't you think?

I've always thought a good sign of a nations well being, and peoples attitudes towards their own country, is...are people trying to leave, or trying to get in. Which is it that the vast majority are trying to do? Leave, or get in?

Raul Castro has just been signed in as the New Cuban president,

Was just breaking on Skynews,

Did the other shoe just drop? Wow, so many changes in such a short time.

tonight , i am feeling some ire .. i have supported hiliary clinton , as the best of the horrible.i still think her better than any other 'candidate' ..but she has come down on the side of columbia .,and columbia is as corrupt as the bush administration . i hear drug lords still control , our newest most valued mercenary recruits are from columbia and a horrible eco-crime that i witnessed , was carried out by u.s. hired henchmen from columbia.bad hiliary ! bad-bad hiliary , you have disappointed me , the columbians are 'bad' guys ! i believe in democracy ,the constitution and the bill of rights , separation of church and state , freedom of speech and religion.as an observer , of the capitalist ruling nabobs , , the overwhelming greed , avarice and complete evil of the insatiable monster-elites , their total disregard of any sanctity of living beings....i have come to the conclusion , that it is 'they' , that must leave the planet , for the greatest good. i find it ironic , the name "fidel" IS the opposite of 'infidel'....the natural born son of angel castro , and descendant of king david.a sephardic jew from spain.god blessed you , well done , fidel ! the sephardic jews were blamed throughout history for many things , that they were not guilty of. it was those 'other' jews (the elite ones) the 13th tribe known as ashke-nazi , formerly known as khazars and ALWAYS known as 'the moneylenders' that did the dastardly deeds.including WW2 and hitler, all a part of a wide dragnet ,they tossed.it is them , that has hi-jacked america and its military and it is them that keeps israel as 'antagonist'. i think fidel castro passed on a while , ago ...and HE WON.

www.sephardicgen.com... the rumor is that raul castro , does not share the same sire as fidel castro ,so raul castro would not share the house of david , with brother ,fidel. while we were busy in the shameful debaucle of iraq , oil was discovered under cuba and the chinese promptly jumped on it with both feet.will or have the chinese allowed the world bank , that is 'rothschilds' , to (at long last) and finally move into cuba ? when you trace the movement of the 'tribes' and think about the crusades and the knights templar and all the questing and dragnetting that has gone on so fervently down thru the ages ... for "the holy grail", it should convince anyone with a functioning brain , that jesus christ was (and is) real ! fidel castro certainly believed in jesus christ.worldnews.about.com...
