Does anyone else think what is happening currently with castro sounds like the ancient roman legend of Tarquinius Priscus and Servius Tullius? A king dies (in the case of the ancient roman legend killed) and the handpicked leader "assumes power" so the nation doesnt fall to a foreign power?
There are other striking parallels, in the ancient roman legend, the new king would allegedly not be able to settle legal disputes because "he needed to confer with the king". Chavez calls Castro, but magically can't put him on speakerphone... Ramon still recieves his orders from Castro, but we haven't seen Castro over a long period of time...
Am I reaching here???

You are right. It sounds like an old story. Do not underestimate the military. They have the most to lose in a change of government. The party leaders must tread carefully to keep their power. Cuba has earned many enemies.
