As the world turns another page...

... nothing will probably happen. Tuesday February 19th 2008, Fidel Castro declared he won't accept another turn in the presidency over Cuba, with a letter written to the communist party newspaper. This means that his reign over the Caribbean island is over, exiled Cubans were celebrating in Miami, and in the Cuban district in the major cities. US president George W. Bush made a short speech, while visiting Rwanda, stating that the White House will help Cuba to recover, and that he accepted Castro's resignation. But many are skeptic over what will really change after Fidel`s 49 years presidency, the longest in the world. Raul Castro, the brother, is more likely to step up and replace the presidential position, while Cubans oped for a radical change that would let them out of the everlasting embargo, that is strangling the country since Castro rose to power in 1959 . If Cuba has its sanctions lifted, this will mean that a new more modern revolution will change the island, opening the boundaries to international affairs and relationships, and maybe update itself from a half-century of missed opportunities. Off course we will probably see a total change of Cuba from how we know it now. The old cars, the colorful decorated buildings, and the hand made cigars are risking to become extinct, replaced by major corporate chains of fast-food and foreign brands; like an habitat being polluted by the outer environment. But what will happen to the health care that is the envy of the world, or to the globalizatino-free society that has been living with their own products for many year? Is the ending of the Castro era a real positive factor, or we failed to understand that the only communist thing in Cuba is just the adjective that the world has been used to describe a corporate-free country?
