****BREAKING NEWS****

I have seen a lot of historic things in my young 37-year-old life. I remember watching President Ronald Reagan, in a defiant speech, tell then the world, "Mr. Gorborchev, tear this wall down." The Berlin Wall came down on 10 November 1989, reuniting East and West Germany.
I remember Saddam Hussein finally being ousted from his power stronghold in the Middle East. I remember in 2003 Idi Amin, the butcher of Uganda, dying of "multiple organ failure." I will always remember, and never forget, approximately 3,000 die on 11 Spetember 2001.

I never thought I would ever see what has happened today.

In an overnight declaration, Fidel Castro has resigned his post as president of Cuba.





Fidel Castro has been hailed by some and hated by others. Castro will always be known as an iconic leader during the Cold War, as well as a brutal dictator to some of his countrymen, and a survivor of 10 U.S. administrations trying to unseat him from his seat of power.
