Yeah, that's right.

Bill Clinton, Janet Reno, the National Council of Churches, and Fidel Castro...stalwart bastions of parental rights that they are.

Elian was sold, his price set by Castro to Dwayne Andreas and ADM, whose food production plant in Cuba was not nationalized by Fidel in return for Andreas' hand in getting the boy back to his jail.

Gee the Miami Herald reports outrage for Martinez saying Castor is in essence SCUM for sending the boy back, and now we have happy happy hakuna matata images of elian is kite flying Cuba.

A slave is a SLAVE no matter what the MSM says.

Imagine his much better future in the USA.

I, for one, was in favor of his deportation.

Just as I am in favor of deporting all who enter our country illegally.

It's a shame that cuba is such a rotten place, but too bad for them.

I have to agree that Elian belongs w/dad.

There are gazillions of kids living in less-than ideal conditions and they all can't come here ILLEGALLY.

I can't stand the Clinton Administration for almost everything they did, but this is one thing I think they did correctly; as painful and 'mean-spirited' as it seems.

Actually Elian did come here legally. There is a specific provision which allowed Cuban to defect to the USA. It is similar to the provision that allowed USSR defectors to come to the USA by defecting.

Elian was NOT illegal.

Elian was a SLAVE issue not a "parental rights" issue.

bless you, Luis, and take care. This is what I'm doing now that we're in the surreal waiting uncertain phase up here. Hope and pray all goes well for us all, considering all that is at stake.

When is a 'cane not just a 'cane -- when it's an election year.

""never forgetting" sure does hurt. I'd make a small joke and say that's why I try not to do it very often, but . . .

Oh yes I know. We watched evil prevail over good and that adds to it. We did our best and we will never feel the personal shame for it.
