Pepared for Cuba’s Future?
Now might be an excellent time to consider Cuba’s future. How well has Castro prepared the power structure for his demise? Will there be an opportunity for elections and a bloodless passage of one of the Soviet Union’s last living relics? With too much overt intervention will the United States push more of Central and South America into the sphere of Chavez? Will too little pressure waste an opportunity for change?
The central question is, “What would the world look like without Fidel Castro?”

That’s beautiful, man.
I should have read this post before commenting on the other Cuba post. I am very interested to see what happens in a world without Castro. Living here in Florida there is also the local social political dynamics to consider.
