    I disagree. The US would have had to successfully invade Cuba (with the benediction of the international powers), displace its population to a couple of corners of Cuba while replacing them with Americans, and then continuously oppressing them. Oh and occasionally taking more bits of Cuban land for Americans.

    And that’s not even including the religious powderkeg the region represents for not one, not two but three major religions. It would take some extra mental gymnastics to claim the ownership of Cuba to “the chosen people” in the Old Testament.

      I don’t think you understand the concept of an analogy.
