"Are you suggesting that the US should walk away from Gitmo?"

I was replying to this line in your post.

"Can you name one country in which we have a base where we have stayed against the host country's government wishes?"

Gitmo is one case.

But, there is a more general problem of some of our bases are in places where the population as a whole don't want us there. Given that bin Laden gave our base in SA as the reason for 9/11, it is something that should be examined.

Actually, that would be a WONDERFUL gesture on the brink of Castro's death! We might actually have good relations with Cuba.
Good thinking Dave!

This base is of strategic importance to the United States.

In what way is it strategic?
