New I set up shop in a room in your house...
...and start paying rent, all without your permission.

Would you want to kick me out?

New not if you were white:)
The room in the house was setup in Anchorage Alaska and suddenly they are demanding rent from the occupants of all the other rooms, withholding heat and toilets while their room is carpeted in gold. Nothing new there.
thanx,

New Re: Thought we were making lease payments on Guantanamo.
We are but the lease can only be terminated by agreement of *both* parties, the lease fee is around $5k and Castro has never cashed the check and instead indicated his desire to terminate the lease. The US, naturally, refused. The lease was originally "negotiated" under pressure and under normal contract law could likely be proved invalid due to duress. Hard to prove just now as all original signers are dead.

Consequently, Castro claims Guantanamo is actually occupied territory (rightly so to my mind). Not only does the US continue to enjoy their Cuban base, but they play the poor guest by imposing economic sanctions against their host and attempting to bully other nations into going along.

Interesting side note: Kennedy was fond of cigars and is rumored to have stashed 1000 Petit Uppmans prior to imposing the embargo believing that those would last him through the crisis.
