It may be that Elian will be so indoctrinated by Fidel that by adulthood he'll be ready to be the next undemocratic dictator in Cuba, who's to say?
Exactly. None of us can say the future so we just muddle through as we've always done and preserve the integrity of the familly and trust the boy's father will give Elian a good enough start that he'll be able to thrive in whatever role life hands him. Just as we do things here ;)
