If Raul Castro has in fact become leader of Cuba it is because the position was given to him by his big brother - who probably still pulls the strings. You have to remember that Cuba's government is a Dictatorship, so the people don't yet have much if any say in who gets an office. Seems like they're worse off now than they were under Batista.
