“This article uses the world Castro so many times, but Fidel Castro retired years ago. Oh, he gives speeches. Wow. OK. If you meant Raul Castro, there are still another 11.2 million people in Cuba, and, despite the best efforts of Americans to forget that they are still there, I remember them. It’s their Cuba also.”
It’s people like you who are ignoring the vast majority of the Cuban population. When did they ever get to vote for (or against, more to the point) either of your Castros?
By the way, in case you didn’t notice, “Fidel” was recently pontificating about matters (for a supposedly almost dead bloke, the b*st*rd’s doing pretty well – he must have a Scottish doctor). In a democratic country, the opinions of a former prime minister or president are just that. In Cuba, the comments of “Fidel” somehow remain critically important. Care to explain?
