This is the first time since the triumph of the Cuban revolution in January 1959 that Fidel Castro has ceded power. Raul Castro, Cuba\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Defense Minister, has not made any public pronouncements or appearances since assuming interim presidential duties. Upon hearing news of Fidel Castro\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s surgery, Cuban exiles in Miami took to the streets of Little Havana in jubilation with some believing that Castro was dead. In Cuba, the leader of the Cuban National Assembly Ricardo Alarcon called the Miami celebrations, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153vomit-provoking acts.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Alarcon, who had spoken with Fidel Castro on Monday and Tuesday of this past week, states that he is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153very alive and very alert.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Fidel Castro, whose 80th birthday is on August 13th of this year, has asked for his birthday celebrations to be postponed until December 2nd, the 50th anniversary of Cuba\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Revolutionary Armed Forces. This week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s past events have lead many commentators to speculate on the future of a post-Castro Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>Read Saul Landau&#8217;s article, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.counterpunch.org\/landau07272006.html\">&#8220;History Absolved Him.
