'The Beard' Decides to Take a Permanent Vacation.....
VIVA CUBA LIBRE !!!!! Well, not quite. Yes, Jim's buddy Fidel Castro has decided to not 'run ' for President of Cuba. Will it lead to a free Cuba? No, at least not yet. Raul is the equivalent of Yuri Andropov after Leonid Brezhnev died. He's a temporary fix who's sole purpose is to continue Fidel's old policies. The real chance for change will come after Raul kicks the bucket, and they find someone who isn't named Castro..
So, it looks like we'll be dealing with a Cuba that has no interest in entering the real world for at least another five or so years. It's a shame, because there are a lot of possibilities for Cuba - possibilities that it had 50 years ago when Castro took over. Possibilities that haven't been restarted since then. Mayeb Jim can go down to Havana, sit down with Raul, and fix Cuba. Maybe not......

To consider that Raul has long been acknowleged as the brains behind the apparat and the commie connection to Patrice Lumumba University in the Soviet Union, expect that Jim probably has politically been in the three way scene with Fidel as the pivot, er poster boy for a long time.
