Elian's father can not provide for Elian: himself (Elain has to go to "summer camp", liberty or his ability to pursue his happiness.

What nonsense. First off you don't know that. You are extrapolating your vision of Cuba on Juan Gonzalez circumstances.

Secondly if one were to follow your reasoning then it might be acceptable to take children from families in poverty even here in the US and "sell" them to families in better circumstances because they would be in a better position to pursue happiness.

Why do you persist in trying to undermine such a fundamental relationship? Is your payoff that you think it is some great defeat for Castro? Would you deny a son his father and a father his son for your vision of world order that is nothing more than a relic of the expired cold war?
