QUOTE HAVANA — Fidel Castro, bedridden for 19 months, on Tuesday gave up the almost unlimited power he has wielded in Cuba for nearly 50 years, but whether the surprise announcement represented a historic change or a symbolic political maneuver remained unclear. Full Article |

For some reason that was a huge topic in my French class today. My French teacher is extremely interested in world affairs.
What do you guys think the brother will do? 'historic change or a symbolic political maneuver'? |

QUOTE(CapCaDancer @ Feb 19 2008, 11:39 PM)  What do you guys think the brother will do? 'historic change or a symbolic political maneuver'? QUOTE It is expected that his brother Raúl, 76, will be officially named president, and some experts consider him more pragmatic. Raúl Castro has talked about bringing more accountability to government and possibly working to improve relations with the United States. But since taking over temporarily in the summer of 2006, he has largely operated in his brother’s shadow, and, except for facilitating huge investments by Canadian and European resort developers here, he has brought about little change. i guess perhaps more of the same, but we'll see. |
