Read "Castro's Comeback" in Newsweek
Newsweek has a piece online this week on Fidel Castro. Titled "Castro's Comeback" the article, by Joseph Contreras, says "Fidel has more fans in the region than he's had in years. But is the hype, like the resurgence of Latin America's left, more style than substance?" He concludes: "As an icon for the left, Fidel Castro is enjoying a rare moment in the sun. The same can hardly be said about the society he created, or the appeal it retains beyond the shores of his native land."
Is this true ? Is he really that popular? I don't understand how can anybody with a little bit of intelligence can admire a man who has destroyed his country and drives his people to leave anyway they can find.
