Over at Hot Air, there's a post detailing the head of US intelligence, John Negroponte, saying that Fidel Castro has "months" to live. Allahpundit analyzes what a post-Castro Cuba would look like and summizes that it may be more of the same:
What are they celebrating? Is it just the satisfaction of seeing the old bastard dead or do they really expect things will start to change in Cuba? Because if it’s the latter, they’re probably headed for a major disappointment.
Castro has lived to see countless coups and tin-pot dictatorships in his day, and I imagine he's figured out a strategy by now. If a democratic revolution were to explode in Cuba, I imagine we would have seen the starts of that now. Instead, it seems the transfer of power to Raul Castro went just fine.
