It was time for him to step down anyway. He ruled for decades. Hopefully the Cubanos can now live in piece.

John McCain with his horse-ass face may die sooner than my beloved Fidel. He is worse than Fidel. John is a racist pig, who will soon be exposed for the filthy crap he is. I know one thing for sure, the likes of him can never sit in the White House, if he does, the KKK would be reinstated as the Original terrorists.

It is called the beauty of the "American Hypocrisy"!  Like all things human, one finger points on one direction and the others point you know where. Thank you for your fresh perspective on the marrer.  You have done me proud--as usual. Let us watch him work his magic on Obama and his followers a say!

_{I wish Nigeria was a communist country just to achieve those two impressive feats.--I would gladly relocate, back to Nigeria.}

No one/nation is perfect after all. Including "an American", super power or not, G1 or not!

Don't forget American students go over there to study "medicine" at relatively inexpensive rates than offered in the US.  While a Cuban visiting his or her relatives in the US can only visit once every 3 years.

May God continue to help us all.

Amen!

I think most countries including Nigeria, get the leaders they deserve.  God's doing, not mine!

Yes sweetie, they use Canadian and European passports to gain entrance, take advantage of the system then return to the US boosting of their top-class medical training, f.ucking hyprocrites,

The next time I visit my Cuban family, I really need to take you my dear . You see there is a clique of "America-Kiss-asses" on NL who seem to somehow ONLY see the wrongs of other countries, but are somewhat blind where the SINS of the USA are concerned. I have asked them repeatedly to take a trip to Cuba and experience life as a Cuban instead of reading and swallowing all the propaganda the US continues to feed them.

Rightly stated dear, Fidel is no saint, but so too are the Bushes, Clintons, Reagans and all those other "beautified" terrorists.

God bless Fidel, He has done well, very well,

but he even says raul castro is worse? goodness.

Is that why Cubans are voting with their feet?Using the term "voting" is ironic given Cuba's situation.

Yes,let's kiss Fidel's ass,he purpotedly paid for your education so his people can languish in poverty for all we care.If Fidel is so damn good,why can't he do one simple thing since 1959-hold multi party elections.

4play aka I-Man, please refrain from quoting me, I would rather reply a goat than you, Just one note of correction, the Cubans are 'voting" with their feet, the same way many Africans do with the numerous identities all in an attempt to flea their countries with the aim of a better life,

Every nation has economic problems,but are Americans "fleaing" to Cuba?

Better life?Who would have thought that life is far better in the US? So what then has Fidel achieved when his people are compelled to risk life and limb "swimming" to Florida?

One sure way not to defeat dictatorships is to make excuses for it because one degenerate dictator purpotedly paid  our school fees.

what humanity has he done proud. i bet u have no problem with castro purging out the same liberals that put him in power and supported his revolution.  castro only became a communist due to soviet aid and advice from che guevera the butcherer.  cuba should be like puerto-rico or the bahamas. rather it's a mess now. yeah humanity must be proud of the shit-hole cuba is.

Don't mind all those "I love America pass my papa and mama" crowd. They're in a perpetual state of ideological and mental enslavement. They curse God for making them Nigerians and wished they were Americans. Rubbish! Many of them are like zombies, accepting all the trash their American masters have indoctrinated in their small heads. Nonsense! McCain is just another old fool. When McCain is long dead and gone, the name [size=16pt]Fidel Castro[/size] will still be reverberating in the universe. The likes of McCain will be heaped on the dustbin of history, forgotten like so many.

Before you come here and spew thrash, whose fault is it that the Cuban economy is the way it is?  FYI, Fidel didnt ask the US to fund his mission in the Maestro montana, they did with their warped mentality of running him on strings like puppet. When they didnt have their way, the first thing they did was to impose an embargo.  Such double standard.  Again I ask is the embargo affecting Castro? Hell no, it's the poor cuban people who are suffering and continue to suffer.

Look around you, this American-way-of-oppressing-weaker nations have been going on for years.  They believe they are "god". So if they cannot have their way in other peoples' background then woe be unto you.

I am not at all condoning some of Fidel's actions. Like every human he has sinned, however, I am getting fedup of people barking thrash when they themselves have so much cleaning up to do.

I have lived there and I Have experienced.  yes times are hard, and no one stands responsible but the USA and its embargo, It is high time the US realises that it is not at all right to invade peoples' countries for their own selfish gains,

Stop regurgitating what the Western media (Fox, CNN, New York Times, etc.) have fed you about Fidel. Go do some research first.

YOu can always take a donkey to standpipe, but you can never force it to drink

Donkey? That is a disrespect to donkeys in general; I say "black homeless rat"

Who knows? May be Castro has already asked for God's forgiveness. We should allow God to do his job.

of course, prayer would heal all the pains, i bet prayer would heal the cuban economy too. BS

FYI, Fidel didnt ask the US to fund his mission in the Maestro montana, they did with their warped mentality of running him on strings like puppet.

maybe the US thought he would bring change and wanted good relations with him. remember everyone though castro was just getting rid of the mafia and creating a nice tourism economy in cuba with the new revolution and all.

When they didnt have their way, the first thing they did was to impose an embargo

why not impose an embargo, would u trade with a country that nationalized the property of your citizens?? castro started it, not the US.

Look around you, this American-way-of-oppressing-weaker nations have been going on for years.  They believe they are "god". So if they cannot have their way in other peoples' background then woe be unto you.

just because the US has had messed foreign policies in the past, doesn't mean we should go around supporting tyrants whose only goal in life is spewing anti-western rhetoric. using this logic we should support ahmadenijad and mugabe since their countries are being "opressed" right.  an embargo is not reason for castro to encroach on the personal liberties of his people.

I am not at all condoning some of Fidel's actions. Like every human he has sinned, however, I am getting fedup of people barking thrash when they themselves have so much cleaning up to do.

this is flawed reasoning, the same can be said about stalin or hitler. we shouldn't criticize those two since we have made mistakes too right. u see how illogical u sound  

I have lived there and I Have experienced.  yes times are hard, and no one stands responsible but the USA and its embargo,

this is BS, i repeat BS. the soviet union highly subsidized the cuban economy but castro was unable to do anything with the money.  venezuela subsidizes the cuban economy but castro still refuses to allow private participation in the cuban economy.  communism is the problem, not castro.  

Tell me, why is it that so many people love Fidel and Che so much, around the world?

people love them because they are unenlightened and fell in love with che guevera just because they saw his picture on a shirt. do u realize that Che insulted the congolese and kabila in one his memoirs. do u realize that Che guevera was responsible for the execution of many villagers?? Che was a brute savage just like the man u love.

By the way, @4-Play, are you really I-Man?? I am not paranoid at all in here like many are and would not go around accusing persons of having multiple identities. It is just that @Islander claimed you are I-man and I was just wondering if that is true or if she is just being paranoid. I think I noticed that a lot of the old people are no longer here or maybe have taken sabathicals Or is it that Seun has been on banning spree again??

Well said! Cuba would be more successful, economically, if the US had not used its position as the largest economy in the world to suffocate Cuba.

All those sycophants of America should tell me how many countries can survive it if America decides to use its massive economic size, influence on other countries, etc. against a particular nation? Very few indeed. Cuba has survived it, though with difficulty, and is still surviving it.

Hopefully, when a better human being becomes US president (not all these blood-thirsty members of George Bush's cabal of death - people that get a hard-on at the thought of others dying), the sanctions against Cuba would be gradually lifted, and shine will Cuba shine!

I strongly suggest that people read materials published by countries that are nuetral on this matter, rather than sticking to CNN< NBC et al like glue.  The USA will print anything to strenghten their case.  The same way they had us in the caribbean brainwashed about Fidel.  They claimed to love us so much, yet they joined with Dole and Chiquita to push Britain to buy bananas from Mexico because they were cheaper, Bloody twats,
The USA ONLY get themselves involve in affairs where they stand to benefit.  I am so proud that Fidel beat them at their own games.  Take a drive through La Habana (nueve) and you would swear you were in Manhattan. Point is they (USA), even before they outsted Fidel, was already making plans to turn Cuba into another Puerto Rico( their stomping ground)

It is high time we stand up and tell The USA, enough is blood cloth Enough, and being some "yes sayers"
