Although Fidel has stepped down and offcially retired, who's to say that he doesn't still have the reigns of Cuba in his hands? Yes yes he no longer holds a political position in the government, but seriously! His *brother* is the heir to the throne. Yea yea Raul keeps claiming that he will make Cuba more democratic, but I really doubt it. Only when his brother has left the country or is dead will he have full political control. Until then, I fully believe that Fidel is still going to be whispering commands in his brother's ear and still ruling the country but this time, from his lavishly decorated mansion.
