Castro steps down!

I like Castro but I can't romanticize he or his country either. Cuba is a rich poor country. Many of its citizens are hungry and desperate... and proud and educated too. The US is already a trading partner with Cuba, it's just not publicized. Bring on free elections, lift the embargo and in a perfect world, keep the fucking Yanks and their "Mafia" out.

so, what's wrong with free and fair elections?

Nothing, as long as the elections are soley conducted by the Cuban people & goverment with zero US involvement. But as Bush has already stated:

Bush says "the United States will help the people of Cuba realize the blessings of liberty."

Hopefully these "blessings of liberty" aren't the same he brought to Iraq.

He's a great man.

Yes, a great man. The kind of great man who squashes any voice and imprisons any man who had a voice different than his or who he perceived as a threat to this regime. The kind of great man who built labor camps and held people without trial, even killed them, by the thousands.

What a great man.
