The original lease was a hundred years.
Since then, it's been extended. Since Cuba is desparately
in need of US tourism money far more than it's
need of Gitmo or UN money.

I thought it was illegal for US citizens to go there at present.

It's hardly illegal,

CNN report otherwise:

"On President George W. Bush's orders, the Treasury
Department has begun an energetic campaign to track down
and punish Americans who defy U.S. travel restrictions to the
communist-run island, the only country in the world off-limits
to most Americans."

Checked my memberships and suggestions that I joined that
organisation are baseless.

Unless they are affilliated to the IARU or you are bombing
the British Legion I'm safe.

But of us don't care if they're baseless, since they're
obviously not Cruise-Bomb less, or Reinforced-Cement less.


As for paying $100 dollars for a visa to visit your country, I
don't think so. Cuba sounds more interesting, but not
the concentration camp.

That's good to know. Since we have to keep reminding
you British that we don't *have* a country.

Perhaps thats why you are illegally occupying other people's
although the CIA do list the USA as a country:

We have 50 States. Britian has a country, but
it doesn't have bears, lobsters, or bear rifles.

I still believe that the reason America invaded was an
acute shortage of baths. Many of your bathrooms are
without and Dubya missunderstood the word ba'ath.

PS: its spelt Britain and its in a better state.
