There, I fixed it for you.
I’ve known too many decent Muslims to believe that. The Muslim world just needs to go through its Enlightenment. Iraq is part of that process.
Yes, there are many decent Moslems. But I think you are overly optimistic.
That is worse than a horror, my friend. What you say is the exact truth. I know McCain is not the best, but no one on earth hopes Obama loses more than me. It is a little hard to put it into words, but I am worried about the future, and Obama is the reason. He is a bad dude.
Oh shoot, got onto the wrong thread. Sorry.
You fixed nothing. The kids father was there. He went up the ramp to the plane rather than run to the cameras. If you want to take all kids away from parents in communist countries, might I suggest you go to LAX and start with Air China. Kids leaving all the time for China.
I'm NOT talking about taking kids away from their parents.
There is NO DOUBT in my mind that Elian's father was coerced by Castro into saying he wanted his son back.
Even within communism there are degrees of oppression. The FACT that Chinese citizens are ALLOWED to visit the United States should demonstrate that for you.
So, if they can visit the US that makes it okay for them to keep ther child and if not they cannot? Perhaps you can work the Mexico City airport and stop kids from getting on the flights to Havana.
You seem to overlook the FACT that Elian's mother BROUGHT him to live in the United States.
Try to think like a normal person. One parent dies, there's a child. Now let's see, who is responsible for the child? Oh. I don't know, just a guess, the the surviving parent!
Elian’s mother sacrificed her life for her son’s freedom. What do liberals know of sacrifice? Liberals hate the ones who make the sacrifices. They especially hate freedom. They love communism though.
While we're at it, why don't you explain your philosophy of parenting which allows you and some other dogooders to yank the kid away because oif the country he lives in.
How do you rail at Reno for sending in the swat team while you would take the kid from his father? What's the difference?
How about YOU try to refrain from PERSONAL ATTACKS (suggesting that I cannot think like a "normal" person) when you are defending Clintonista actions carried out at the behest of Castro.
The difference is the facts. Your little fairy tale is a crock. Elian was living in the United States, with his family, thanks to the sacrifice his mother made. You might actually see the facts if you could pull your face out of Reno’s crotch long enough to look.

After you insulted me by "fixing" myy post, you sure are thin skinned.
How do you rail at Reno for sending in the swat team while you would take the kid from his father? What's the difference?
NOBODY "took" Elian away from his father. His MOTHER, who had custody of him took him to the United States. (And don't even bother with some laughable response that she didn't have permission from a Cuban court to take her son to the United States.)
The father’s rights and responsibilites supercede the cousins etc.
The mother DIED! Why are you responding to some one who’s personally attacking and whom youy are trying to get suspended?
That wasn’t an insult. I mistakenly assumed that members of a CONSERVATIVE forum would side with freedom over communism. Obviously, I was wrong.
