the eyes of many, Fidel will always be better than his younger brother Raul. Read More ...
Very enlightening story about the Castro brothers ...
ReplyDeleteBut it is sad that political position is like a clan business.... same set of family ruling the countries
I might prefer seeing Cuba to be governed by another person not related to Castro....
Although I am always fasicinated of Fidel Castro and Che Guevarra :)
by the way, did you try the coffee in Cafe La Havana in D.F.?
But I agree with you, in every leader, there is always someone behind him who does the hard work.
ReplyDeleteIt is good that Raul Castro opened up Cuba's relationship with US...not that I believe every country should always be nice with US. :) But for Cubans' sake, they need to open up their country, not just to US but to others also specially for investors..
But what do you think of Fidel Castor as a leader, in comparison with other global leaders? Come to think of it, his rule made Cuba different from the rest of the Latin America.
Not a fan of Fidel Castro, but he changed Latin America, for sure. I'm more of a Che admirer.
DeleteHave you read or watched the Motorcycle Diaries?
ReplyDeleteTry reading Jon Lee Anderson's Che Guevara. it's much better than the Motorcycle Diaries movie.
DeleteI will try to get a copy of that book. Was the author the one who broke the story about Che's gravesite?
DeleteBtw, if you will have a chance to turn back the hands of time, gusto mo bang nabuhay sya ng matagal?
