Will his brother Raul be just as hardline, or will the government fall to the will of the people? And is it likely that Fidel's death would create a power vacuum in the country? There must be tens of thousands of exiles in the USA who would willingly return if only to see that foul marxist regime flounder, as I feel the Castros are on borrowed time. What are your views?

You dear misguided young man. If Castro dies, we have nothing but more of the same until Raul dies. The government will not fail to the will of the people because Castro or Raul is not the problem - the US is the problem. There is no power vacuum - Fidel is the power. If Fidel dies, Raul is the power.
Now about the exiles in the US. They are 3rd, 4th, 5th generation Cubans here - THIS IS THEIR HOME. They argue and shout about returning, but that's just political manipulation. This group of Cubans has manipulated US policy toward Cuba ever since the Bay of Pigs. So don't be fooled. No one is going home.
Unfortunately, the US made Castro the corrupt hero he is in his country. And we missed the opportunity to render him irrelevant when the Pope visited Cuba some years ago. We missed another chance to render him and the communist regime irrelevant when he gave power to Raul. All we needed to do was simply remove our embargos and sanctions. Cuba would flourish. But the one thing stopping such a move are the Miami Cubans. MAKE NO MISTAKE.

If there are enough rebels and they're properly organized there will be an overthrow. The US might send some cuban nationals down there with weapons (a la Bay of Pigs) to effect a coup. I predict Raul will assume control smoothly and crush any small rebel groups.

you are mistaken my friend by thinking that revolutionary government of cuba is based on the one man fidel castro....yes ,he has been the main inspirer and corner stone for the country , but now the region is in more enlightened state with leftist and progressive force gaining strength in whole of south and latin americas .with the huge and crooked force of USA government and CIA cuba is at great risk and needs someone like fidel to leed them......but i am sure that the people of cuba has the mental and philosophical strenght to topple their evil plans......whole world is looking forward to the ultimate survival of revolutionary cuba......
long live fidel ,,,long live cuba......

I'm sure Fidel's got backups in place.
