Absolutely,

<<Don't you think that in taking stands of any sort, it is incumbent on us to do so with the understanding that we may not be in possession of all the facts and that the other side will have some excellent points that we need to listen to with more open intent than that of finding the reason they must be wrong?>>

The people of little Havana have taken a stand against Cuban communism. In many cases they may have already put their lives on the line in this respect. I have not formed such a strong conviction against Cuban politics myself but am hesitant to judge the folks from little Havana. IMO, however, they have used the issue of Ilian Gonsolas to rally interest in their political causes. On the other hand the American justice system dropped the ball on this from the beginning by not effectively controlling the custody issue. The only injustice I can see at this point is against the boy. I am disappointed in both sides. I don't think improving communications would have helped because I think both sides clearly understood one another and had their own agendas that they were positioning. The only poor communication was among the various government agencies.
