Castro Retired
Everyone speaks ill of the man. So he's a Marxists who played a part to near nuclear war. But what has he done lately? That's right, just hate us.....but can you blame him?
China has massive problems with human right violations, Russia is gearing up for a second cold war, and Saudi is one of our biggest threats, yet, we have open trade and relations with these countries.
Now "the big bad" Castro is out of power, will we be able to re-open relations with this wonderful country? I hope so, I love their cigars.
