this should be interesting, if castro dies, the USA is going to be right up the ass of cuba. we even have a paid official in washington to handle the "transition" period.
coastguard is on standby in the waters surronding the country.

For some reason, "Raul" sounds like an awfully funny name for a new communist dictator.

They discovered oil in Cuba recently so I'm sure that'll give us even more of a reason to put our noses in.

If things work out right, then Cuban cigars will once more be legal in the US... which is great because I'd love to buy myself a few cubans to save for super-special occasions. They'd be a hell of a lot cheaper if they were legal.

No way the U.S. Government goes in and does anything. If anything happens to castro his brother raul was always in line to take over. We may have a "transition" guy ready for cuba but its going to have to wait until after raul dies.

How old is Raul anyway?
Maybe Raul's views are different than Fidel's views and he can't wait 'till Fidel dies so they can have shopping malls and go cart tracks.

Raul is fidel's "little" brother that is 75. However his views are exactly the same and he is known to be more ruthless than fidel.

The thing though, is that the Cubans are all riled up, I'm certain Bush will sieze the opportunity for another struggle.

they have 300,000 troops that are not a joke. We would have to invade them and even then we would be fighting in jungle warfare and we all know how well we do in that kind of fight, see vietnam. Not to mention the fact that the international community would condem us.

Been doing that on and off for 50 years. It does not seemed to have helped. It seems to have just helped to isolate the country. We punish the cubans because they are not a democratic country but we don't have an embargo on communist china? I think we are just sore losers and hold a grudge from the bay of pigs going so bad.

We can't starve China into submission or else we would, not that it has worked in Cuba.
Personally, I'm with the other guy. I just want my cigars.
