Fidel Castro has stepped down as President of Cuba and Commmander-in-Chief of Cuba's military. He took power in 1959 and publicly ruled until July 2006. At that time his brother, Raul Castro, was handed power temporarily while Castro underwent surgery. He has only been seen in the public eye on videos and photos since the surgery.

I won't shed a tear for this one or his brother. Thanks for the update.

you know it could be worse, he could have been making threats all these years to start up nuclear development and everything else. but they just kinda kept to themselves. i'm not saying he was a saint or anything, but i'd take cuba over iran and north korea any day.
