On the positive side, its good to know that US soliders, like the one in the photo, are now in Afghanistan trying to kill bin Laden, rather than intimidating little Elian and his family.

Those were NOT soldiers! They were federal agents from the dept of Immigration and Naturalization playing "dress-up".

Good point on the "dress up" issue. I had forgotten that and assumed that Reno had called in the Rangers to intimidate the Cuban-American community.

I guess my feeling is that if we have government agents pointing automatic weapons at anyone, its better that they are pointing them at bin Laden and the terrorists, rather than at a small child to make political hay.
