“Romney said terrorists housed at the facility need to stay in Cuba — far from the US court system.
‘I believe that Guantanamo plays an important role in protecting our nation from violent, heinous terrorists,” he said. “Guantanamo is a symbol of our resolve.’ “

The world community is all a buzz about the People’s Republic of China. The nation is home to 1.3 billion people and is considered the up-and-coming world power, and maybe even superpower.
