You're turning the definition of sovereign on its head. The Cubans have no say over what happens there. The previous regime we inked the deal with was a virtual US colony, best I can tell. Deal first struck in '03 and renewed in '34. I believe a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then, but why would we vacate a lease on 45 sq. miles of prime seaport territory that rents for $4,000 a year, especially since Castro, et. al. haven't cashed the checks in what, 30 - 40 years?

The deal cannot be broken unless both parties agree to it or the US vacates, which it/we are unlikely to do.

This is passing the buck par excellance. The entire scene at Gitmo, the residents and their treatment, has been created by us -- we control it -- and nobody else.

I can scarcely believe the dishonesty in the notion that Cuba has sovereignty over Gitmo. Gitmo is de facto American territory.
