<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; Leased sovereignty is very tenuous, as we now see in the case of the<br/>
&gt; Czech Republic&#39;s leased exclave in the German harbor at Hamburg, and<br/>
&gt; as we may yet see in the case of Guantanamo.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Now that you bring it up, isn&#39;t the Guantanamo lease running out in <br/>
2002? What is going to happen? I don&#39;t believe Cuba has agreed to <br/>
renewing the agreement, or has it?<br/>
<br/>
Castro would probably bring this before the International Court of <br/>
Justice and would most probably win, because, well, the agreed-on <br/>
time has run out! But then what? The U.S. won&#39;t give its base up -<br/>
 &quot;Who cares about international law if it&#39;s not in our favour!&quot; ... <br/>
no, that&#39;s sarcasm, sorry ;-) - and Castro wouldn&#39;t be so stupid to <br/>
enter forcefully. After that it would simply be illegally occupied <br/>
Cuban territory, right?<br/>
<br/>
Can anyone shed a light on all these questions?<br/>
<br/>
Thanks a lot,<br/>
<br/>
