OT marcos: you're right, of course, although if Cuba weren't under the grip of a Stalinist I have no doubt that Guantanamo would long ago have gone the way of the Panama Canal (something I thought Jimmy Carter did right).

But don't spread this notion about returning seized territory! Notwithstanding my nom 'd plume and an historically informed reading of 1846, I'm a Gringo of two minds about la reconquista. I don't oppose the ongoing playout of a "right of return," within liveable limits. But I have enough problems with what Gringos hath wrought in D.C.

Imagine a gov't beauty contest, in which the people would ultimately vote with their ballots as well as their feet for their rulers. Mexico would require a makeover of stupendous proportions to reach the sorry state of U.S. gov't and offer any comparative appeal to the great mass of voters. And how great if they did. What a dream!!
