Is Castro stepping down huge news or, at this point, a strange letdown? I feel ambivalent. Will this finally give a chance for things to change? I hope so. The current stalemate is absurd.
Well, I think Raul has been running things for a while now, and that Fidel might not even be alive. US law says that they cannot normalize relations or even sit down at a table with Raul or Fidel either one. Maybe that ridiculous law can be overturned without the incredibly polarizing presence of Cap'n Fidel at the helm of the ship of state, but he is retaining position (assuming he is actually alive somewhere) as head of the communist party. As much as i think that lingering cancer illness is too good for Fidel, I hate to think what will happen when those fanatics and posers in Miami repatriate, if ever. On the bright side, at least they would lose their stranglehold on state and , to some degree, presidential politics in the USA if they were back in Cuba as citizens and off the rolls as US voters.
