    for me he died in the revolution. A courageous heart with good intentions to liberate the people but got corrupted by the process eventually became equally as terrible as the right wing dictatorships.

    Killing Castro wouldn't make 2016 notorious.

    2016 needs to take Raul too so we can turn that island into a giant resort.

    You can go ahead and turn Haiti into a giant resort. What are you waiting for?

    Why are there no videos of Castro passing?

    Castro faints?

    So many good thread titles, and you chose this one. You just had to go and be respectful.

    Don't like this attitude that Cuba should be a play thing for rich Americans. It's why they had a revolution in the first place.

    Whether he was good or bad for Cuba depends on who you ask. I have no take either way, BUT the people celebrating Castro's death are baffling to me! He wasn't assassinated, wasn't overthrown, wasn't exiled, or thrown in jail. He died an OLD man! I hope I get to live to be 90yrs old....that's a good thing or no...o_O


    Sura faints!!!

    https://www.quora.com/How-many-deaths-was-Fidel-Castro-responsible-for

    If you aren't sure, you aren't trying. A conservative guess is thirty thousand named people alone. Add in people living in such misery that they were willing to take to the ocean in pathetic rafts just to get away, and it's clear that he wasn't good for Cuba. A mass murderer and despot died. This is worth celebrating.
