    Did hell freeze over? Is it really true that Fidel Castro handed over power to his brother? For the most part Americans expected that he would have to die before anyone else came to power. Unfortunately Raul is worse in that he is more ruthless.

    47 years... that's a long time.

    Edit: Apparently the arrangement is temporary.

    I heard on the news that Castro had medical problems but I didn't hear anything about handing over the power to his brother. Well. We'll see what happens.

    What you haven't realised is, Fidel's brother is just as crazy as him, just a little on the stupider side.

    I still don't see how it's going to help. I doubt much of a difference will be made.

    Some people beleive that this could lead to civil war in Cuba, if Castro is to die. I beleive the extremists Alpha 66 have said that either way they are going to try and take abck the country after he dies anyway, in an effort to push the country towards democracy.

    I really don't think that the world needs anymore blood shead at the moment.
