Guantamo is LEASED from Cuba - 1903 I believe.

<font color=blue> You wrote:"Kind of like when Cuba asked the U.S. to get out of Guantanamo? "<font color=black>

Are you a fan of Castro? Would you like to be treated like Castro treats his people? Would you like to be put into prison, or executed for posting some of the very comments you post on SI? You would be if you lived in Cuba.

Would you want your government to select which career is best for you, like they do in Cuba. If the government wants you to work in a sugar or tobacco plant, that is where you'll be for years and years.

Guantanamo is going to come in handy when we go after Castro's neck!

Tigerpaw,

The US acquired Guantanamo by lease from the Cuban government in 1934.
