But who thought Fidel would ever return to power?! And this, even if he clings on to life for another 10 years. After all, from the time Fidel transferred power to him in July 2006, Raul Castro has made it clear that he’s basically holding auditions to help his brother select a worthy heir.
Meanwhile, one has to admire the fact that, despite his physical decay, Fidel’s mind is as lucid as ever. And nothing demonstrates this fact quite like his politically-savvy declaration that he merely wants to:
…contribute experience and ideas whose modest value comes from the exceptional times that I have lived through…I think like [Oscar] Niemeyer that you have to be of consequence up to the end.
Viva Fidel!
