Now Fidel has sensed that his regime is ready for a change. he anticipates that his people might forment trouble and rise up against him, he has rearrested dissadents, and tightened his grip on his people again. This is madness. What is America's next step..

Well the next step should be action in the UN.I saw that there had been a very weak resolution againbst what he is currently up to.

Must have been accepted by the US too..? The weal resolution that is....

At the moment he should be put under pressure and i figure it would be fairly simple to do so..that is why i dont understand this "lame" resolution.

He executed a couple of hijackers.

Something i find disqusting...but still.......it falls in line of what many people generally think is reasonable punishment for terrorist acts....

Anyway..Castro hasnt got long time left.

His dementia has reached it apogee, his zenith, his final act before he succumbs to the inevitable...."Time is the fire in which we burn"

In a different place....but after they obtained missles from the cold war russian government, this island was thrust into the spot light and it's leader (castro) suddenly achieved a level of credibility he didn't deserve...I hope, god rest his soul...he passes soon.

Nothing, why because the Cuba is not doing anything wrong, Fidel Castro is not doing anything wrong at all.

Reguardless of what you may think Castro's Cuba is a better country than Batista's Cuba, back then there were American Mob in Cuba, there was Casinos, gambling, corruption, rich getting richer, poor getting ignored, massive racism, child molestations mostly from U.S. tourists visiting the island.

Cuba at the time acted the way it did to prove a point and that point was that they did not need U.S. help.

Those times have changed now, U.S.S.R. is different, the world is different, but Countries still have a right to Autonomy in whatever way they want, whether its having a Queen Monarch like Brittain's Queen Elizabeth, and the prince and princesses of Europe to a democratic country, to a dictatorship.

The world is different now, Cuba is a very different country than years ago, now there is free travel to that country, there is also trade of goods and Tourism.

However the problem is that the world is facing economic problems, Argentina's people held massive riots when their money lost value forcing many to be poor, in other South American countries and North American countries Jobs have been going to Canada, China and other parts of Asia forcing many Layoffs and people with out Jobs.

I know of a Family who lives in the Dominica Republic that moved back to the U.S. after the money used there lost its value and jobs were lost to Companies moving out of the Country as well as corruption from Goverment officials.

In Colombia there is unrest and Civil wars with massive loss of life, yet no one is paying attention to them, and you want the U.S.A. to waste its time trying to do something about an insignificant country like Cuba?

What does Cuba have that is so important? they do not have Oil.

There are people who live in Cuba that are trying to leave the country to come to the U.S.A. to live a better life, guess what EVERY OTHER COUNTRY"S PEOPLE WANT TO MOVE TO THE U.S.A. TOO!!!

ITs not just the Cubans, what, are they special?

Fidel Castro visited the U.S.A. many times during the 90s as he was invited to Rallies and Debates.

The only people that still hate Fidel Castro are the rich Cubans bastards that Castro kicked out of the Country in the days of the revolution and afterwards. Those same rich Cubans bastards are using their influence in U.S. goverment and media to constantly bitch and complain about Fidel Castro and Cuba.

You really should educate yourself and read the unbiased history to make a better opinion on the Cuba subject.

Do you think that the Florida vote count Fiasco was not a sign of corruption in the U.S. goverment?

Do you think that the Republican party is not run by Rich WASPS and is only interested in their agenda?

Do you think that Bush's Tax cut proposal is going to benefit the poor or the rich?

We made mistakes, and Fidel was always worried about a 5th column effort in his own country, he lived in the United States and went to school, enjoying sympathy and support from patriotic americans until of course, he was double crossed ( depending on whose book you read).
