I admire Castro. I don't admire his rule, or his politics. That he's survived every US President since Kennedy 90 miles offshore despite being isolated, demonized and embargoed by the US government, survived all the assasination, destabilization and coup attempts promoted by us is astounding. Like the Devil, you HAVE to give him his props!

You have to wonder if he'd still be there if we had reached an accomodation with Cuba and opened trade with them. I think not. His power is derived directly from our antagonism. That Castro survives is an example of how governments can stupidly act like children, for DECADES.
