R.I.P.

Fidel Castro - just because I didn't agree with his politics doesn't mean his death should pass without comment.  Apart from anything else. he was the great survivor - he lasted 50 years despite the best attempts of the CIA to assassinate him.  And however bad you might judge his presidency to be, it's worth remembering that he overthrew an arguably even worse one - the Batista regime.  There will be those who will rejoice at his death - there will be those who will grieve, but there will be few on whom it makes no impression at all.
