The CIA has diagnosed Castro as being severely ill with Parkinsons disease. Given their recent record not only does that mean he doesn't have Parkinsons but he is getting younger and healthier every day.
OK seriously, I hate communism, in fact one of the secret shames of my life is I was kind of sorry when the wall fell because I wouldn't have the Soviet Union to hate anymore (although I still have the French), but what freaking harm is Castro doing to the US. If we lifted the embargo tomorrow the regime would probably collapse on Friday simply from market pressures, but no we keep it in place which makes Fidel more popular and encourages sleazebags like Chavez. Sometimes I wonder if James Ellroy didn't have it right in American Tabloid.
Speaking of James Ellroy, excellent article on National Review Online.
