I've lived in Florida all my life, and I remeber Raul being more of a hot brand than his brother, but I certainly don't think the press is accurate about anything. But he too is older than dirt, so this may well be the beginning of the end for Castro's Cuba. The upcoming upheaval will undoubtedly not be fun though. Then again, Bang, remember that these are descendents of the same Cuban's who were so gung ho thinking that Castro was going to be better than Battista. Interesting Bang.

Cubans don't expect the brother to be any better. He's old and in poor health, so they see this as the beggining of the end they've waited so long for, and that's why they're celebrating. I get a lot of that from friends from other countries. They're always amazed at the sort of junk the press makes up to generate controversy and sell papers. A lot of them think the American press are a bunch of lying idiots. - Bang **== Sev – My cuban friends tell me the press is full of it when they make those sorts of statements.

Raul is much more radical and revolutionary, and if anything will be a bigger despot and more violently repressive than his brother. Ever notice how often people in these types of countries get all hepped up about this new leader or that new revolutionary person who's going to save them and it winds up they are far far worse than the person they hated before. Battista was a gem compared to Castro, and the Iranians were all so hot to get rid of the oh so oppressive Shah, and they got the Islamofasciist Ayatolah Kohmmeni in return, who sucked them from a modern society straight back to the 14th century.

If they handle this per usual for Marxist regimes, it will be weeks after he's dead before they admit it. - Bang **== - The good news is his brother is the same age as he is.

Unlikely, unless there's profit to be made in rebuilding.
