The Embargo is a Success!

After only 47 years, the US government's policy towards Cuba and the communist regime of Fidel Castro has finally borne fruit. At 79 years old, Castro has succumbed to stress and is undergoing surgery. While he recuperates, he has turned power over, back to the people, in the form of his often-overlooked brother.

Raul Castro, 75, is the first vice president of the country and designated successor to his brother. He also assumes control over the armed forces and leadership of the Communist Party, according to the statement.

Castro, if he isn't dead already, deserves a slow, agonizing death. What that son of awhore did to my people can never be forgiven. The world needs to know the truth.

I'll never argue that he's been bad for Cuba. What I will argue is that the US government's approach to him, in an attempt to weaken him and get him out of power, has been an utter and abject failure, and should have been changed years ago.
