Cuba Libre?
Although revolutions seldom achieve their objectives, I hope that the people of Cuba soon realize that Fidel Castro is done for and that they overthrow the despotic, communist regime which has for so long kept the island from developing politically and economically. Since July 2006, following emergency surgery, Fidel has not resumed his full duties as head of state. Instead, his brother Raul Castro is in charge of the government. I find it very difficult to believe that Cubans will withstand another tyrant; they must simply be waiting for Fidel’s death. However, I am surprised that neither the Cubans in Miami nor those in Havana have seized the opportunity to restore the government to the people and call for democratic elections. Raul is not nearly as charismatic as his brother and Cubans feel less obligated to him. Fidel’s brilliant moment in history has been long gone; in fact, he tainted his name the minute that he overthrew the equally infamous Batista only to take his place as dictator. Dictatorships of the right and of the left have only betrayed the Cuban people. Democracy’s reign is long overdue.
