Reno, you did a GREAT job this morning! My respect for you just went up ten fold. My only regrets are that Elian should have been given back to his daddy a loooooong time ago and in today's raid you did not let the agents crack a few heads open, especially Lazaro's (who was probably passed out from drinking in the basement).

3 minutes...the final necessary traumatic incident for Elian who can now start the healing process with his loving family away from the media circus these "relative" scumbags have put him through for over five months.

Whatever credibility the leadership of the cuban exile community had in this country has been severely diminished and proven to be a bunch of fanatic lunatics blinded by their hate of Castro who would dare to parade a six year old boy around like an animal in a circus for their political gain to "get back" at Castro. Again they end up on the losing side. I hope some moderates rise in their leadership who will advocate more sensible policies against Cuba and Castro would be gone sooner than they ever anticipated. But, then again, these two probably deserve and need each other to stay in power.

As much as I despise Clinton (for entirely different reasons, mainly revolving around the Kosovo fiasco and inept foreign policy decision makers) this was handled in the utmost care and patience. They gained my respect by their lighting quick operation today.

Elian back with his daddy. No more Elian paraded around like an animal. Let's get back to normal.

I could not help but chuckle at the anger these people in Miami show...and the ridiculous mayor...and Lazaro wanting to fly to Maryland to see Elian..LOL...I think he is still not sober yet...
