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.

Like many dictators, he took advantage of the Cuban people in a time of need. They wanted to be liberated from the horrific Batista regime, and so Castro staged a revolution. The only problem was Castro didn't stop there, and he killed off or chased out political opponents.

he was a military leader who was given a chance to speak in front of thousands of cuban to determine the which route the country would take after an election in 1959 did not please the people of cuba.leaders of the ruling democratic party and leaders of other political parties ageed on having a multyparty government.Castro did not like the idea saying it would only benefit the wealthy and not the working people.at this period cuba was a thriving tourist destination,so at the conference he perswayed the mayority working people saying that the new leaders would take all and run.he didnt get his way so he took office by force saying that its not Castro, its cuba that commands a single leader.and with the people behind him he stayed in power.once he took over,he made himself the head of every department known in cuba.

He lied. After overthrowing the corrupt Batista regime Fidel Castro as leader of the revolutionaries took power which was only to be until proper elections were held.
Of course once in power he had all his political opponents either executed or put in prison and declared himself president for life.
