Fidel Castro has retired after 50 years, What effect do you think this will have on Cuba and the rest of the World.

Default raul is in power

the change will come but very gradually. Once Raul kicks the bucket then the changes might start to come out faster.

I don't know Anne, I'm surprised he's still alive, after all that controversary over his health awhile back.

I suppose they'll be some effect on Cuba, but I think Cuba's influence on the rest of the world is pretty inconsequential and I don't see much changing there. But just my guess.

Same here, don't think there will be much change but Ya never know. Once Ol Fidel passes things could be different even with his brother at the helm then again..Maybe Not. Only time will tell.

Might give a lot of people hope, but not too sure things will change all that much. Very exciting news, though. I have a friend who's from Cuba and her whole family is from there.

Yes true. Positive change takes time. I happen to be living in Germany in 89-90 and was witness to such change. I will never forget the look upon the faces as my collegues and I watched as people poured in to West Germany from East Germany. The Wall had come down, opression was squashed and families were once again together... Truly Amazing!!!

They need to become a free country so those people can live a free lifestyle, they deserve it, altho I doubt any big changes will occur but we can always hope.
