by After nearly five decades as President of Cuba, Fidel Castro announced his resignation from power. It is expected that the Cuban parliament will nominate a new President within days and Fidel's brother, Raul, is the likely candidate. Raul Castro led Cuba in 2006 when Fidel required emergency surgery. Speculative analysts also believe Carlos Lage may receive a nomination to appeal to the interests of Cuba's younger generation. Citing health reasons, Castro announced, "I neither will aspire to nor will I accept, the position of president of the council of state and commander-in-chief."

What I Want To Know ... by VnutZ :: NR8 :: on 19 February 2008
... is when the ban on traveling to Cuba will end. Was it only a result of communism? Perhaps with Fidel gone and his brother being so old ... the ban will eventually be lifted. I've heard vacationing in Cuba is awesome.

The problem is... (and we all know it) no presidente de los Estados Unidos will have the cojones to upset the Floridians... after all, it's perfectly OK to trade with Communist China, but less OK to trade with Cuba...

Why would that upset Floridians? It would probably make immigrant reform Floridians happier since many Cubans might go home. I would think more tourism opportunities in the vicinity would be a boon for Florida.
