Fidel Castro: Obama can avert impending nuclear holocaust - Miami-Dade Breaking News - MiamiHerald.com
Cuba's Fidel Castro took part in his first government function since he nearly died in 2006, repeating his apocalyptic warnings of a nuclear war that only President Barack Obama can avert as he spoke Saturday to a formal session of parliament.
Castro, who will turn 84 on Friday, appeared lucid and healthy during his 90-minute appearance before the National Assembly of People's Power, though an aide helped him walk around the stage.

Castro made a couple of blunders during the question and answer period, referring to Russia as ``the Soviets'' and `USSR'' and saying that the Big Bang that formed the universe occurred 18,000 years ago.

``At first I thought that the imminent danger of war had no solution possible,'' he said. ``I am sure, however, that it will not happen that way and that, on the contrary, the conditions for a solution (...) are being created at this time.''
``One man alone will have to make the decision: The president of the United States,'' Castro said, because Iran will not bow to U.S. and Israeli demands to halt its nuclear program.
