You're right on it Sir John! Tup:

HAVANA (AFP) - Fidel Castro resigned Tuesday as president and commander in chief of Cuba in a message published in the online version of the official daily Granma.

"I neither will aspire to nor will I accept -- I repeat -- I neither will aspire to nor will I accept, the position of president of the council of state and commander in chief," wrote the Cuban leader, who had been in power for almost 50 years.

Maybe what he was hoping for is that the Beloved One would move over there next year and put the country to right. :roll: :lol: :lol:
