After 49 years of communist government in Cuba, 81 year old Fidel Castro has decided to step down as the autocratic leader in the island country. Long has Castro plagued the United States, threatening policies of America since the very beginning of his long rule.
President Bush stated today that he hoped Castro descent from power triggers a democratic transition for Cuba, in a statement documented by MSNBC News Services.
So, to summarize the last few days in world news, Kosovo has declared its independence AND Fidel Castro has stepped down in Cuba - this has been quite an eventful week on the world's stage.
On the homefront, the Wisconsin primary was held today. Republican Senator John McCain won his side, increasing his chances of a GOP nomination for the 2008 Election. Sen. Barack Obama, a possible nominee for the Democratic party won the primary, outshining Hillary Clinton. Wisconsin is an interesting state for the Democrats, as it is a test of more industrial states to come, such as Ohio and Pennsylvania.
November is still quite a ways away but the election season is really heating up - stay tuned for more information on politics and all sorts of news to come!
