Clinton did just TWO very good things in his Presidency.
1) Bomb Kosovo
2) Return Elian Gonzalex to his father.
And don't bother replying...
"And don't bother replying..."
Why not? I can stand the fact that someone doesn't agree with me without calling it "crap". How about you?
Hi father wanted to stay. Open your eyes. Alex did.
"1) Bomb Kosovo"
?????????????????
and returning a child to be Castro's photo-op is a good thing??? When his family in the US loved him?
Kidnapping him with military force, a good thing???
That was Reno's Magnum Opus to her Prelude at Waco.
Living in South Florida, I went to the Gonzales home while it was surounded and cordoned off by the police. I met Elian's uncle and prayed with him. His hands were calloused from his daily regimen of hard work in an auto repair shop. I am a protestant and he is Roman Catholic. We both had a common point of agreement that the Island Prison of atheistic communist Cuba is no place for a little boy to have to grow up.
Elian's mother died trying to bring her son to Miami to his uncles and to freedom, when the raft she was floating on fell apart. In the Island Prison, she was raising Elian without the help of the boy's father who never married her and had little involvement in the boy life. No written will could have stated any more clearly whom she intended to have custody of the boy in the event of her demise. She and the father had been in contact with the uncle's in Miami planning the escape to freedom.
To say that Elian was sent back to Cuba because of parental rights is a wretched joke perpetrated upon Elian, for in Cuba there are no parental rights. The communist State literaly owns all the children.
When Clinton, Reno and all their jack-booted thugs broke the door down without a proper warrant, pepper sprayed its peaceful, law abiding occupants and kidnapped little Elian Gonzales back to the Island Prison, they did America a great favor in an ironic way: it cost Al Gore the presidency and saved the USA.
God Bless little Elian who may never know freedom again. He was a brave little boy betrayed by vicious liberals who stole his freedom. He is a ward of the state, is not in the home of his father who now has little interaction with the son with whom he was never truly re-united.
I agree with you that the correct action was taken by Clinton/Reno given the most unfortunate of circumstances.
