Castro and Lebanon - Your comments

Peter van Dyk | 17:50 UK time, Tuesday, 1 August 2006

We’ve just finished another busy programme. If you’d like to listen again it will be available on our website until 7th August.

As Ros wrote today we have been talking about Fidel Castro temporarily handing over power to his brother, and of course the situation in Lebanon and Israel.

You can read emails and text messages here, and of course post your own comments as well.

Rajan in Dubai
I am extremely sad to hear the news of Mr Castro's illness and hope he will fight and come back. We have to pray for him because he lives for ordinary people.

Meesha in Nottingham
Cuba without Castro will be a country that has lost one of the most amazing, charismatic leaders ever.

Andy in Chicago
Important changes are coming for Cuba, and those changes must be carried out by Cubans in Cuba.

Tim in London
Cuba will change, but only for the benefit of US corporate interests and the rich Cuban elite.

Steffan in London
Cuba after Castro will become, sadly, like Cuba before Castro - the US's puppet

Mark, USA
Castro is old, tired, and in failing health just like his regime.

George from Hong Kong
What an amazing character, good or bad, he is - and what a bulletproof metabolism he must have. How many times did the US try to assasinate and topple him? He must be the greatest survivor in history.

George from Hong Kong
My only comment on Castro is what an amazing character, good or bad, he is - and what a bullet-proof metabolism he must have. How many times did the US try to assassinate and topple him? He must be the greatest survivor in history.

Ali in Beirut
Cuba without Castro is an open invitation for the financial invasion which has already slowly started to take place

Michael in Florida
As a Cuban-American that lived under this oppression, I'm concerned that an abrupt end to this regime would create a vacuum that could be easily exploited by an unscrupulous few.

Stuart in Margate
My concern is that if this is the end of Castro, then Cuba would revert back to being the playground of rich tourists and criminals

Ernest in Pennsylvania
My hope is that the US and other governments like Venezuela do not meddle in Cuba

Homas in Dublin
My wife and children are currently in Havana. I have just got off the phone to my wife and she says that everything is quiet in the streets there. Obviously the same has not been the case in Miami.

Mian text us this message
I hope Cuba carry's on Castro's dream. I wish the Arab have charismatic leader like Castro to stand up against the USA

Mohammed
The Death of Castro will be a rebirth for Cuba, a new day, a new country, a new Nation and a new Independence

Bakary from GAMBIA
Castro is great. He has not only brought stability but self sufficency. He is great and may he live longer.
