Obama to Close Guantanamo

So here's an idea: President Obama is going to close Guantanamo prison this year, as a way to show the world that things have changed in the U.S. That could save a few bucks.
So why not give the land back to the Cubans, as a good will gesture so we can get over a half century of political posturing? Or maybe we should team up with the Cubans, who know how to train young people to be doctors & nurses in the developing world, and use the base facilities as a training facility for new Peace Corps type volunteers, people who want to go to Africa to treat & prevent diseases, dig wells, build energy efficient housing?
After all, what do people remember today about John F. Kennedy's policy accomplishments? The Peace Corps.
