Once Fidel's croaks, the US will be given an opportunity to change its policies toward the island and any party celebrating Fidel's death seen as officially sanctioned by agents of the US government, would undermine the prospects for a changing strategy with regard to Cuba. A change we desperately need, if we are ever to free the people of the island from Castrite rule.
