Lazaro "good." Cuba "bad."

You are in the wilderness with this kind of thinking. You clearly have not read about the rapport that Elian has with his father, nor have you read the story of the Gonz lez clan in Cuba and their immigration to the US.

This is not to say that Lazaro appears to be a bad person. But to think that Elian is to prefer Lazaro to his own father is absurd. To have him make such a choice is not responsible nurturing of him. To think that the relatives may have been trying to coach him in this direction is just plain unconscionable.

It would look to me like the entire effort to withhold Elian at least on the Relatives part is really aimed at reuniting the whole family here in the US. But it has gone badly awry. The politics of it all and the polarization that they have created has almost insured that this will no longer ever be possible.
