Well, I was in total agreement with you until the last paragraph. A parent's right to custody of their child is not negotiable. The "peaceful" protesters were holding a child against the wishes of his father. I do not care if they were praying or building bombs, what they were doing was against the law. If some of my relatives took posession of my child, and refused to return him to me, I would authorize the gov't to use what ever force necessary to safely return him home. A 6 year old is not capable of understanding the implications of political asylum, and is likely to say and do whatever those with gifts suggest. He was being used as a puppet and paraded before the press shamelessly. He was being pimped by the Cuban community in Miami. An unfortunate pawn in their struggle against Castro (I am not debating the merits of the struggle). The gov't, for once, showed some competance when carrying out their responsibility to uphold the law. Elian is where he belongs. It is unfortunate that the relatives who loved him so forced this showdown.

What sort of country would allow a child to be seperated form his parents solely because of their political ideaology?

Now can we stick to MSFT where clearly the govt is out of bounds.
