Castro Cedes Power to Brother

Cross-posted from The Dread Pundit Bluto

From the Akron Beacon Journal:

In a stunning development, Cuban leader Fidel Castro temporarily ceded his presidential power to brother Rául Castro late Monday due to ''an intestinal crisis'' that requires ''complicated surgery,'' according to a letter read on Cuban national television.
Fidel Castro, 79, would never give up power, even temporarily and to his own brother, if he weren't facing a serious medical crisis.

1 due to "an intestinal crisis"

I bet thats painful! Part of me hopes he passes quickly and change comes for people in Cuba (though I'm not too optimistic that his brother will be much better), but yet part of me hopes his death is long and drawn out so that he might experience some of the suffering he has brought to his own people.

3 The longer he suffers, the longer the Cuban people have to mentally prepare themselves for what they have to do. I just hope they have the strength to do it after their systematic starvation.
