Fidel Castro, Cuba's longtime revolutionary leader, dies at 90.

Raúl Castro is 85 and probably not far behind.

There will be parties in Miami.

I read in Miami they are banging pots and pans like it's New Years Eve, in celebration. Yeeep.

He was the most successful revolutionary leader of the 20th century and cocked a snook at the US for the duration of his Presidency.

I can't say he will be missed and as others say, Miami Cubans will be thinking Christmas has come early.

I was come up with something or how felt castro, I came up with nothing.

most people related to castro as something from the 60's, I was a kid then. even now, " the missle crisis ' in 60's, seem so far away from me.

I see articles about castro's death, I wasn't interest in read them, I am not still.

I seem to care about a man that or the kind of person, he was in the past. but a man survived this long that kind of person he was, without being assassinate pretty impressive.

600+ failed assassination attempts survived is a pretty impressive record.

I suppose the CIA will now be closing the file on Operation Mongoose.

The number of assassination attempts was probably closer to 20 than 100...let alone 600.

But, the point is well taken...he was either impressively illusive or the people who tried to kill him were impressively pathetic failures.

We shared a birthday.

That always made it weird for me.
