No,

The right of a loving father to have custody of his son far outweighs the needs of the wacky right for icons of paranoia.

So it is this picture that most of us Americans will remember and cherish from today:

I have read that Elian believed (or was led to believe) that his mother was still lost at sea and that he needed to remain in Miami until she showed up. If this is true, his father is the best person to help him understood the truth and overcome a six-year-old's understandable delusions. Regardless, in the eyes of the world and a substantial majority of Americans, Elian has always belonged with father since his discovery at sea.

The Miami relatives will be left to console themselves with moneys from the inevitable book deals, payoffs from tabloids and royalties from trashy teleplays. All the things that publicity hounds crave.
