If the bearded one expires what does that really mean to America? From a perfectly selfish standpoint I smell great fishing oportunities.

It's a good opportunity to change our stoopid policy, this ain't 1962 :hs:

But, from what I hear Castro's son is a more of a nut than Castro.

I agree that our embargo is an anachronism of the cold war, but here's why it won't end until the Castro dynasty does--the Cuban vote in South Florida and those 25 electoral votes ;)

It's actually his brother who is rumored to have quite an alcohol problem and very little credibilty with the Cuban people. Could be step one of the Revolution redux.

I also predict a revolution...what better time for the Cuban people and especially Castro's political enemies to overthrow the communist government?

If Raul has a booze problem and Fidel passes on we'll be fishing ala Hemingway in no time. I firmly believe that the embargo exists solely to keep Castro's Cuba a third world country to prove our " greatness". And as usual, the people suffer.

The real question is................... will Cuban Cohibas still be as highly sought after? :bounce:

Fortunately for me I've had a Cubano source for many years and the quality has decreased steadily for the past ten years. Give me an Opus X anyday :buds:
