RE:
PS - Put politics aside and think as a human being.

I think it is wrong to put "politics" aside in a case like this. What you refer to as politics is not a question like "Should we have a tax cut.", or "how much should the Dept. of Education have in its budget this year?" It is a question about the child growing up in a free country or in a brutal communist dictatorship.
That having been said there is still plenty of room left to argue that a child should be with his father and that this is more important than the political issue, just don't trivialize oppression as merely a matter of politics.
