Very good news from the "worker's paradise" of Cuba. Sure his brother is taking over, but at age 76, the clock is ticking closer to democracy.
The end of Castro's rule — the longest in the world for a head of government — frees his 76-year-old brother Raul to implement reforms he has hinted at since taking over as acting president when Fidel Castro fell ill in July 2006. President Bush said he hopes the resignation signals the beginning of a democratic transition.
Hope for change.
