Elian was on US soil, his mother brought him here, the father agreed for him to stay with his own relatives, everything was fine until Castro got involved. That was the issue there. If Sarah does what Elian's mother did ---gets her children to the US, then I'd feel the same ---the children (even if they aren't technically US citizens) would have certain rights to stay.

Just as I believe Americans shouldn't have to be killed trying to get those Arab children out of Saudi Arabia, and this incident shouldn't lead to us going to war with the Arabs, it would be different if the Arabs came here to take them out of the US, even if the Arabs have given them Saudi citizenship.

I was under the impression that Sarah's mother allowed her to visit her father over there and that he didn't return her because he believed under Saudi law that he should keep her. It was up to Sarah's mother to understand Saudi law before she got involved in a marriage with one.
