Castro "Doing Well"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060802/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/cuba_castro

Does anyone think power will transfer smoothly to Raul if Fidel dies?

I think it will be a power grab.

The problem (well...one of the many problems) with dictatorships is that they don't generally adequately prepare heirs, leading to a power vacuum when the dictator dies.
