>>>He [Castro] accomplished to steal 50 years of Cuban Development.<<< Please do tell how well Latin American, South American, or Mexico even, nations have fared during the past 50 years of "development." Heck, Mexico didn't really get a good trade deal until but a few years ago. So how do those respective Latino economies, levels of health care delivery, rate of homeless amongst children, environmental policies, etc., compare to Cuba, this with the great American hey-ho behind 'em?

IMO, he [Castro] will go down in history like other dictators Unlikely, at least for the Europeans. Remember the spectacle of the Lider Maximo playing kissy-face with Danielle Mitterand in Paris a few years ago ? Remember what Europe reserved for Pinochet by comparison ? Pinochet (while having somewhat less blood on his hands than Castro) will naturally burn in hell because he's a capitalist since when it comes to dictators there are two weights and measures. In the end the USA will be blamed for all that has gone awry in Cuba.
