We are left with Elian's courageous cousin, Marisleysis, who Easter morning told truth to
power, an American citizen speaking to the nation about the actions of the American
government.
Hmmm. One person's "courageous" "American citizen" is another person's venom-spitting whack-job, I guess. And BTW, there are very few who dare to act as "Americans" in Little Havana. Anyone there who invokes their right ot free speech a dissenting opinion are openly physically attacked, not unlike the country they fled. Shameful.
seeing the boy had bonded with the cousin
Well if Marisleysis says so ... after all she is a courageous American citizen. ;-)
(Reagan) would have made a statement laying out the facts and ended it, "The boy stays, the dream
endures, the American story continues. And if Mr. Castro doesn't like it, well, I'm afraid
that's really too bad."
But then he was a man.
It wasn't about what Mr. Castro wanted, but what Elian's father wanted. But I'll agree that Reagan would have acted to build his image and use Elian as a political football to boot upside Castro's head rather than consider Elian's best interests...This kind of loopy jingoism is why so many non-righties (that is, anyone to the left of Jesse Helms) ignore the WSJ op-ed...ready for wrapping those fish... |
