Bernard, Cuba won't be far behind the rest of the world in ditching communism. Lots of financial rewards are awaiting Cuba once Castro has been ousted. The Country could make a fortune merely by becoming a farm system for major league beisbol <ggg>, not to mention tourism and other developments. To my knowledge, Cuba has one of the most educated populations on earth and would do well to persue the footstpeps of the economic trend that Ireland and India are currently experiencing, an economic revival built merely from the strengh of an educated population lacking economic opportunities until now. Additionally, with the economies of Argentina and Brazil showing strength of late, the entire region South of our border is looking more and more attractive for the new millenium. UD. dijo PARTY (as in celebration)? Con mucho gusto, count me in. Sergio

Bernard: I agree that without Castro the grip of Communism on Cuba will be lifted... But, His brother Raul, is the military man in the family... I don't think he'll give up power that easily... He has the generals in his pockets through various joint investments in hotels... It may take another 5 to 10 years after Fidel is gone before Cuba experiences true democracy... I hope I'm wrong...

Bernard: As a Canadian I was able to visit Cuba last August. Let me tell you that Jibacoa is fantastic. They already have a great hotel that is a joint venture between the Cuban government and an Italian company that built the hotel. It is the BREEZES Hotel in Jibacoa. We stayed there and had a great experience. From first hand experience let me tell you that the Cuban people are absolutely great. THE most friendly and hospitable that I have ever met. We got to know some of the locals as well as you can in a one week stay and from what I can gather they are indeed very well educated. It seems that is a priority. You know what they say about educated people--you can't keep them down forever. Most are anxiously waiting for better times and freedom. But it probably won't come easy or cheap. Count me in for the party--whenever it occurrs. (Should be on time if a CANADIAN company is building. Mind you they probably have tons of local problems to contend with). EH? Thanks, DOH. P.S. Nice thread. Have been following since the beginning.
