Good spot for naval base.
Been there since 1898.
Guantánamo Bay Naval Base at the southeastern end of Cuba (19°54'N 75°9'W) has been used by the United States Navy for more than a century. The United States controls the land on both sides of the southern part of Guantánamo Bay (BahÃa de Guantánamo in Spanish) under a lease set up in the wake of the 1898 Spanish-American War. The Cuban government denounces the lease on grounds that article 52 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties voids treaties procured by force or its threatened use.

Would you rather they be in your living room? I'm thinking Gitmo is a pretty logical place.

It at least gives us a foothold on Cuba.
