Could be a wild day in Miami.
The bane of existence for ten U.S. presidents has resigned. Castro is "El Comandante" no more:
Saying he is no longer healthy enough to hold office, Cuban leader Fidel Castro has announced he will not seek reelection after 49 years in power and nearly 19 months sidelined by illness, marking the first official step in a long-awaited succession in the island's leadership.His tenure sure hasn't been devoid of drama.
''It would be a betrayal to my conscience to accept a responsibility requiring more mobility and dedication than I am physically able to offer,'' the 81-year-old Castro wrote in a letter published in Tuesday's editions of Cuban newspapers. ``This I say devoid of all drama.''
I know this question has been asked for decades: How long before Cuba becomes the new U.S. tourist destination?
