Fidel Castro's Dark Reign

For almost the last fifty years, Cuba has been under Fidel Castro's communist reign. America's dirty little secret has been quietly locked away. Castro stepping down could have more implications than you think. Many Americans seem to forget or just don't know how Fidel Castro came into power in the first place. The notion of "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Has it's origins in Cuba. Wealthy Americans desire for gambling, drinking and Cuban cigars. Made Cuba like the original "sin city" until Las Vegas was invented. The only catch was controlling the six million Cuban citizens that were part of the package. Then there was Fidel Castro. The charismatic revolutionary that allowed America to wash their hands of the mess they created. Soon that neat little package may be coming unraveled.

Fidel Castro's younger brother Raul has been in charge for over a year now. Since failing health has caused Fidel to hand over control. Now that he will officially retire. The United States and the rest of the free world won't be uncertain what he might be doing. They'll be watching his brother Raul. It poses the same dilemma it always has. No one is expecting much to really change. That remains to be seen though. The human ego is a funny thing. Raul Castro might not be content just following in his brother's footsteps. He might want to leave a legacy of his own. Having a communist country less than 100 miles away, could be a nightmare not so far away. Could we be soon to face the light on the darkness of Fidel Castro's reign?
