Fidel Castro: "The Cuban Model No Longer Works"

http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2010/09/fidel-cuban-model-doesn… In an interview with journalist Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic, Fidel Castro admitted that “the Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore.” Could this finally legitimize the actions of the opposition that has been trying for many years to bring change to Cuba? What does this mean for the future of Cuba, that the leader of the Revolution itself believes that the economic model no longer works? And also, what does this mean for Hugo Chavez in Venezuela who has time and time again held up Cuba as a model for Venezuela? _______________________________________________________________________ Personally, I am glad that what Cubans in exile have been saying for 50 years has finally been admitted by Fidel Castro. I have only one word for this: Vindication. added by: UrbanGypsy
