@georgeob1,
Perhaps it can be interpreted that way, but I see it this way. What if Castro began shooting rockets at Florida on a regular basis? We may first strike back at this missile lauching sites, but then if more attacks came, we well might go capture parts of Cuba where the rockets are being shot from. Then if he shoots more rockets from remaing parts of Cuba under his control, we would probably take more of his land. Castro might then very likely enter into negotiation and demand his land be returned, while accusing us of expanding our territory and violating international law. We would be reluctant to return any land because we would consider it a security threat to our citizens in Florida. We may return a portion of it as a gesture, but following more attacks, we may well take the land back again and then reject any offers to give up the land from then on. And further, any land under our control in Cuba, we very well may institute restrictions to certain areas and to certain activities. At this point, the Cubans would be complaining daily about our oppression of them, and our destruction of their land and belongings. But if more missile attacks took place from other parts of Cuba, would we be likely to just hand over the land already taken, and abandon any restrictions upon Cuba?
And if the Cubans continued to support Castro and his troublesome policies, how much sympathy would you have for them, George?
