What of the freedom of a father to raise his child as he sees best? How would you like it if your inlaws seized your son illegally because they don’t agree with your values?
Anyone who is willing to steal a a mans son, who’s only offense is to believe in a different government, is themselves an enemy of liberty.
I don’t agree with the father, but my opinion doesn’t matter. Nor does anyone elses.

Well, you're positing a situation that didn't exist (and still didn't because the inlaws didn't seize anyone illegally) until Castro decided to use this for his own purposes. Learn your history and don't bring disrepute to Mark Levin's name. You're running the risk of sounding like a Carl Levin fan.

The father was NOT a free man. Sad for him, and sad for you to think it is a good idea to send this child back to Castro (not to the father). The father was not allowed to decide to leave the child with the relatives who WERE free. He was not allowed to meet with the child before the Elian was seized at the point of a gun.

One more thing... If the man holding Elian resisted surrendering or attempted to escape with Elian, would it have been OK with you to have the agent shoot him?

As aruanan said, you do need to learn your history. I'll say it again - Never give Communists a victory.
