Do we really think Fidel is still alive?

AgustinG,
No reason to think otherwise, El Comandante is still very much with us. He appeared only last week:

Come this August 13th, Castro, too, will reach the nonagenarian mark.
Say what they will about him in the US, for overwhelming majority of citizens of the western hemisphere, Fidel is a revered hero. If nothing else, it has to be admitted that he stands in history as one of the towering figures of the Twentieth Century.
