"And that Cuba's long nightmare of tyranny finally will come to an end." This quote ends the long article about the recent resignation of Fidel Castro. As we know Fidel's brother Raul has taken over. What the writer is really concerned about however is whther or not the embargo on Cuba will be lifted. To him things look dim. Raul has as he says always been Fidel's "enforcer". THe writer worries that nothing will change for the economy wrecked island and that they will remain the way they have been for many decades. There is a small flicker of light at the end of the tunnel however. He states that there have been a few restrictions lifted in Cuba and that Raul may even widen economic freedom for Cubans. All we can really do is sit and wait I guess. I thought the argument was well written. He gave a lot of useful information and spoke to me like I was on his level. I also didn't feel like he was pushing any certain opinion on me.
