We don't have a colonial view on anybody. We made that mistake with the

And the US Virgin Islands. And Guantanamo Bay. And Guam. And
numerous other Pacific islands (many of which were used for nuclear
testing).

Yes I missed the US Virgin Islands. They are a protectorite and remain so
WILLINGLY. As for Gitmo. We LEASED that fair and square. And the lease is
STILL VALID. And Guam has had the chance to clear out. THey choose not to.

As for the 'other' Pacific islands...would you perhaps be refering to the
Marshals? The ONLY Island that was nuked was BIKINI. No others. It is
part of a several hundred mile string of islands that are now INDEPENDENT
and have been from several years.

Gets your facts please....Oh BTW I was in the Marshalls in the 80s.
