Just another Criminal Leader dead. Good riddance. Unfortunately. The Cuban People's Ruling Class, as the Venezuelan People's Ruling Class, are still in Power. I would like to also say "good riddance" but ... . Though it was probably never specifically said by my elders while growing up, I believe somehow I was taught I should not wish anyone ill, not even any enemy. So, instead, I say, "Good luck, Cuba." Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. ID: 1832863 ·

No need to converse with this communist person or read his or her drivel. America has made lots of stupid mistakes in the past and offered support to a vareity of absurd despots the world over. Fidel Castro is finally dead. I hope the Cuban people will soon be able to rid themselves of his brother and the Castro legacy. Rest In Peace ??? ....he's not resting, he's DEAD ID: 1832958 ·

If one is to judge success, that is a hard standard to exceed, especially for dictator. R.I.P. ID: 1832971 ·
