Why doesn't anyone kill Fidel Castro?

Answer 1

has he ever affected you? has he ever affected your family? now, has he ever affected the US? i dint think so. so why would you want him to die? actually, many people who live within Cuba love him. Why should we hate him? Only because the US government does?

Answer 2

Why would you want a person to kill another. Castro has done nothing to the U.S. since back in the 1960's which was probably before you were born. Many of the Cuban people love their leader. It has not been a Cuban problem for many years. Now it is a case of the bully beating up the little guy.

Answer 3

1.) It's against the law to assassinate a head of state. (Does not apply when leader is killed in the course of combat during wartime.)

2.) The rest of the world has good relations with the Castro regime, so killing him would only make things worse, not better. (See Iraq.)

3.) Regardless of what exiles in the US may claim, most Cuban citizens still on the island are content with the socialist system.

4.) He is more likely to succumb to failing health than at the hands of someone else's wrath.

Answer 4

Though you wouldn't get the impression from the media, Fidel Castro is quite popular in Cuba, having raised the standard of living for the lower classes, the literacy rate, and the standards of health care in his country by leaps and bounds. The anti-Castro movement are largely wealthy ex-patriates in Miami whose property was nationalized by Fidel when he came to power. I think even the majority of the opposition are reasonable people who wouldn't resort to assassination to achieve their political goals, but of course there are exceptions. There are always sickos who want to assassinate for political reasons.

The CIA has made numrous attempts on Castro's life ever since the early 1960's but all have resulted in failure, giving Castro the added moral position of being able to thumb his nose at his big bad neighbor to the north, increasing his popularity with his people. The US embargo, ineffective as it has been at isolating Cuba from the global economy, has also served to increase Castro's standing among Cubans.

Answer 5

Why should someone kill Fidel Castro or anyone else?

Answer 6

At this point Miami and southern Florida are filled with Cuban exiles that would and will move back there once he is gone. His brother is not the man that Fidel is and will eventually wilt under the pressure from the US and the exiles and from his old age.

The USA would love to make Cuba a US territory just they did with Puerto Rico.

Answer 7

Several reasons.

1. They have tried, and failed. It is easier said than done.

2. Many countries have good relations with Cuba. Killing Castro would cause an international scandal that would scar the reputation and respect of the nation that carried it out.

3. It would likely not fix anything anyway. A coup would likely occur, and that could result in widespread violence and death and further economic upheaval worse than what they already suffer from. In the end, someone just like him would likely take his place.

4. He is dying anyway. No point in wasting the resources now.

Answer 8

Castro is seen by many Cubans as a liberator, not allowing the US to dictate to Cuba how it's own government should be run. Ignore the propaganda. Communism isn't wrong, it's just different.

Answer 9

Who knows. He is from what I have read pretty much about to die anyways. Bit late but hey better than not. Its about time we bring home the troops and stop off at Cuba and just take the place over.

Answer 10

There is no need to. He will die sune any way. But he just won't die. The thing is people have altraedy tried to kill and or remove him from power. For instance U.S. tried in the Bay of Pigs insident

Answer 11

You know Cheney is getting a new Pace Maker and Bush is gettin another load of toilet paper after the Summit 8, when he used it all when he got the sh** scared out of him, blamed it on the stomach flu. Sure got it fixed up real fast after Air Force headed for the USA. ..
