fidelandia, Tourism Mecca

Most of the time, you read an entire article or editorial about Cuba and get the standard point by point yadayada directly from the castro playbook. But sometimes, even the most fidel loving of reporters or the most slanted of wire services leaves a little golden nugget of truth for us without even knowing it.

To wit, this quote from Reuters from a European travel agent, vis-a-vis travel to Cuba:

“As long as Fidel is alive, the situation will be stable. If anything happens to him, I would be worried,” he said.

Now, Im not saying that this is why the Cuban government has made no anouncement if fidel castro is already swimming with the fishes. Maybe it isnt just concern over a mass exodus of Cubans or Cubans rioting in the streets. For raul and company, maybe it's all about el cash.

asi que lo que cuenta es el CASH.... hmmmm

perhaps Raul and company are worried about both their necks and the cash. I think that since the Swiss banks stopped doing transactions with the regime's leaders they are looking for new sources of money. Let's just make sure the US is not one of them.
