Well, as you read in the news "El Dictador" is hospitalize and for the first time in 47 years he is not in charge of Cuba. Which ponders the question of many Cuban-Americans. Is Cuba ready to become a democratic nation? Or will another "El Dictador" will take over. Do you think Cuba is ready for this change?

His brother is in charge right? I doubt he's any better....

You mean Raul? He's getting too old as well.

Don't we have to go in first and blow some stuff up?

That will happen only if we can sell them back the things we blew up.

yeah, but first someone's face needs to be plastered on every news outlet and labeled "just as bad as hitler". 9-11 must be invoked. and....well thats it really, then we just fly in and blow shit up.

I think Cuba's been ready for democracy for the last 47 years. But when they do get it, their version of it will be little better than the communism they have now.

It will be a great day when the Cubans are liberated from Castro.

After Raul dies (In like, 15 years) there will no doubt be a Castro nephew or grandson ready to take over. A bit like if Uday Hussein took over from his old man. Same sh*t, different day.

I hope that's not the way events will unfold. BTW, nice sig!

I think the bigger question is: Who the **** cares?

Well its said his brother "Raul" Castro is going to be Cuba next dictator and matter of fact, he might have the same ideas as Fidel castros Communism. I just hope something will be done about this but I dont see any action going on but the people protesting.

Are you proud to be a Peruvian or an American? Good question. Well I was born in america, but both of my parents give me peruvian blood making me 100% Peruvian. Im american citizen but still, im proud to be peruvian.

I'm unclear as to why being proud of your nationality has anything to do with not wanting to live in a communist dictatorship.

Back on topic,
I think that we should not be making decisions for the Cuban people. We shouldn't have to force Democracy upon them, that never turns out right. But it will be interesting to see what happens in the next few years, it will definitly be a place to watch.

Cuba is not Iraq. It's wanted democracy for some time. How much better the Cuban version of democracy will be to their current version of communism has yet to be seen.

Wasn't it Romancing the Stone that said that "B@stards have brothers"

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/americas/08/02/castro.sister/index.html

Bastards have brothers? Hmm...I'm wondering if that context is more with 'bastard' being 'illegitimate child' and thus a commentary on the sexual habits of those who have children out of wedlock.

Thank you for taking my post far too literally.

And I heard the report from his sister. So, how about we change my quote to "Bastards live forever"?

I didn't think the filter would allow bastards.

It's about time!

What do you want cuba to do? Change their system of government to one that suits you more?

Treat their citizens better.

Why else are their citizens jumping into rafts and heading to our waters?. Maybe we should re-direct them to Europe and talk to you. That way you get to hear it directly from their mouths.

Mexicans are different. They make great spicy food.

Cheaper to take vacations on Mexico too....

If you ever visit the States I'll treat you to some Mexican food.

You'll love it.

You guys are still mean to Cuba.

I love Cuban Sandwiches and Cubans can make one heck of a cup of coffee!

Plus I've seen Scarface more than once.

Also, Al Pacino is ****ing Italian American, that's probably the most insulting thing that ever happened to Cuba ever.

Land of the free and home of the brave ftw.

Al Pacino is ****ing great actor!

Besides, if you think that was insulting to Cubans. Then you've never seen a Spaghetti Western in your life.

Italians playing Mexicans...hohoho..great stuff (love those movies)

Until Castro dies and and any semblance of his legacy has vanished, no U.S. politician is going to risk his/her neck saying "hey, Cuba isn't the bad-guy anymore".

It worked for the Smurfs, but that's about it.

In 50 years time, you'll pull out and they'll have democracy.

Or you'll lose again.
