"Some people say to me, "My God, but Fidel Castro is a communist!" I say: "No, he was a messenger of God.""

Fidel Castro outlasted U.S. presidents determined to overthrow him, survived the collapse of the communist bloc that sustained him and outlived many of those who wanted to replace him. For those reasons, he will go down in history as among the world's most skillful politicians, even if his achievements largely die with him.
