An Occupation By Any Other Name
Cheap political rhetoric about “the violation of human rights, unjust incarceration of prisoners held there without charges” from a dictatorship aside, a sovereign nation has a hostile foreign military power within its borders that refuses to leave – in any other world what would that be?

Um, stageleft, you should look at this:
Notice the U.S. has more troops in Hawaii than they do in Afghanistan. Make any sense?
Given that the latest fear they seem to be promoting is China that doesn’t surprise me in the least.
The other thing to note about that list is that the US government is not in those countries as a hostile force where they are (at least officially) not wanted.
“An Occupation By Any Other Name.”
Say what? The US doesn’t deny it’s occupying Guantanamo, it claims the lease is legal, Cuba claims the lease is illegal.
But thanks for pointing out that Cuba is the only country in the world not able to close a US military base during peacetime just by telling the US military to leave.
Why is that?
