Is Fidel Castro still dictating Cuba?
I don't think so he's to old I believe it's either his brother or his son in power, but I for get. Fidel Castro turned over the president position to his younger brother Raul Castro almost four years ago. Fidel has been very ill for the last four years that is why he cannot exercise presidential duties. However, many say that Raul Castro is president in name only because the decisions how to run the island are still being made by Fidel Castro.

Why did the US wish to attain a strong influence in cuba?
Cuba was, and is run, by a Communist government that used to have direct ties to the Soviet Union, until the Soviet Union gave up on Communism in the 1960s'. In the 1962, Cuba threatened the USA with nuclear missiles, given to them from the Russians. The USA told Russia to pull the nuclear missiles out of Cuba, or else! The Russians blinked, and took the missiles out of Cuba. The USA then took Our missiles out of Turkey. To be honest, before Fidel Castro installed a Communist government in Cuba, the government of Cuba was run by a corrupt dictator named Batista. In many ways, life in Cuba is better under Castro than it was under Batista. Cuba was not a great place to live when the government was corrupt & bought and sold to the highest bidder under Batista. With a leader like Batista, it is little wonder that Fidel Castro got the support of many of the Cuban people.

What is the government like in Cuba?
Cuba is a communist country. The Cuban constitution states that, "the Communist Party of Cuba...is the superior guiding force of society and the state." Members are selected by the party in a thorough process that includes interviews with co-workers and neighbors. Those selected are considered model citizens and strong supporters of the revolution. It makes recommendations concerning the future development of the revolution, and it criticizes tendencies it considers counterrevolutionary. It has a relatively large influence in Cuba, but its authority is "moral", not on any legal authority. The Communist Party of Cuba is the sole legal political party, and no other party is legally allowed to exist. In later years independent candidates have been nominally allowed to participate. Elections are held by secret ballot and everyone age 16 or older can vote. Voters nominate candidates for the municipal assemblies and are then placed before the voters who choose among 2-8 candidates. Candidates for the National Assembly are nominated by municipal assemblies with one candidate for each seat and put to an approval vote where voters may approve all, some or none of the candidates (source: "Democracy in Cuba and the 1997-1998 Elections" by Arnold August [90]). Legislative power is nominally in the hands of the National Assembly of People's Power. However, save for two sessions a year, power is exercised by the 31 member Council of State which is elected by the National Assembly from itself. Executive authority is formally vested in the Council of Ministers, a large cabinet comprised of 8 members of the Council of State, the heads of the national ministries, and other persons. A smaller Executive Committee consisting of the more important members of the Council of Ministers oversees normal business. Fidel Castro was head of the government from 1959 - 2008, first as prime minister and, after the abolition of that office with the adoption of the 1976 Constitution, as President of the Council of State, which also serves as head of state. He was also First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba, and since 1976 a member of the National Assembly from the municipality of Santiago de Cuba. (The 1976 Constitution and its 1992 revision require that the President of the Council of State be a member of the National Assembly). Due to poor health, Fidel Castro was succeeded by his brother, Raul Castro Ruz, in February 2008.
