Raul Needs our Help

With Fidel unlikely to return to power, we only have Raul to worry about. "Only" isn't the best word, as "Raul Castro [is a] ' Stalinist,' who is 'as brutal or more brutal than Fidel Castro,' " according to Cuban expert, Jaime Suchlicki in this AFP story.

Here's how we can help:

"The question is now how long Raul Castro, 75, would be able to perform the job he inherited. He drinks too much when he is under stress and he's now likely to drink even more," said Latell, who wrote a book called "After Fidel: The inside Story of Castro's regime and Cuba's next leader."

Anyone want to chip in and send poor, stressed-out Raul a case of vodka?
