The world-wide mandate for a reunion between Juan Miguel and Elian should really be separated from politics.

But if, as you and others here imply, a Republican president would, by nature, have lacked the courage to take decisive action and do the right thing, then this is just one more reason to vote against having Bush in the White House

However, neither Bush nor Gore has enough of a spine to agree with was done today. Instead, their desire for Florida' s electoral votes has both of them mouthing hollow "woulda coulda shoulda"-s.

Fortunately, with Janet Reno's help Elian has confounded the profoundly wacky right. Instead of turning into another weird martyr like Koresh, he's happily playing with his baby brother as I write.

For most of the Americans who will vote this fall and for the majority who won't, the issue had been one of responsibilty and family values. Elian is now where they/we believe he should be.
