Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva , who considers himself a friend of Castro and was in Havana last month, called the Cuban leader "one of the great icons of humanity's history," according to the Oglobo.com website.



what the fuck is wrong with you

Icon does not mean he was good or bad, just noticeable.

In other words, refer to the topic title.

im sure many people, out of their damn minds ofc, would seriously agree to the statement "Fidel would be a better president than George Bush"

sup michael moore

exactly

Shut your cunt

ur ava is stupid looking

aka faggot

michael more is like a cross between chimaera86 and nonni

just because fidel is/was worse than bush does not make bush good by default

LOL

moore*

I am not surprised to see a Wisconsin collegiate student so confused by this statement...

He is probably one of the most recognizable figures of the 20th (21st) century. To try to dispute that is asinine.

I'm glad to see retards are being produced from "white" America.

Are you black?

jw ofc.

I would dispute his significance in perspective to "humanity's history".

As far as political leaders go, I would say that Churchill, Reagan, Stalin, Hitler, Mandela, Truman, Ataturk, Lenin, Mao Zedong, Roosevelt, Mussolini, and Gorbachev are all considerably more significant than Castro, along with dozens of others who played a larger role. Though Castro did play a role in the cold war during the Cuban Missile Crisis, for the most part Castro's political career has been much less notable than many other international incidents.
In addition to those political leaders, there are hundreds of other icons in the 20th century alone, from pop culture icons like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson to a scholarly scientist such as Albert Einstein or cunning engineers like the Wright brothers.

Castro's significance is overstated here, and the context also implies that Castro was a positive icon.

Yes maybe in humanity's history was a bith much, but he has done wonders for his country, cuba has the best medical and educational resources of the american latina countries. He did 'govern' his country for a good 50 years, not many leaders have done this as far as i know.

it's not hard to govern 187 people m8

I would argue that Castro played a larger role in history than Mussolini did.

OLD


our president is an idiot lol
