CBC News: Castro steps down as Cuba's leader after 49 years
"U.S. President George W. Bush expressed hope Tuesday that the end of Fidel Castro's presidency will launch a transition to democracy.
""What does this mean for the people in Cuba?" Bush asked rhetorically at a news conference in Rwanda during his trip to Africa. "They're the ones who suffered under Fidel Castro. They're the ones who were put in prison because of their beliefs. They're the ones who have been denied their right to live in a free society.
""So I view this as a period of transition and it should be the beginning of the democratic transition in Cuba.""
I wonder if oil was found in Cuba...
