Hrm... party time in Miami?

Fidel Castro announces retirement

Of course, the real party in Southern Florida will be after the announcement of his death.

Oh, there will be lots of exiles going back- just long enough to get their families who stayed behind and return to the US. The Cuban government will not break down gracefully, and its concerns have never really been for the people who live there while it's dealing with its own bullshit.

Yeah... Fidel's brother Raul does not have nearly the cult of personality that Fidel does.

*sigh* But then, I've thought the U.S.'s policies towards Cuba, especially since the fall of the Soviet Union, have been rather asinine.
