How long has Aruba been under Dutch rule? Is there a movement for Aruba to gain independence? I'm sure people there want to be able to say that Aruba is an independent country.
I don't think that America has any kind of claim on Aruba. That island is still under Dutch rule, and I don't think the Dutch is sharing ownership with another country. I wonder if there has been anything going on in Aruban legislature dealing with cutting its ties with Holland? Does Aruba have an agreement with Holland similar to China's agreement with Britian?
