<We're talking about a communist dictatorship. What choices does Juan Miguel Gonzalez have down there? The boy is going to a place where he will be a prisoner. Why would a libertarian favor that?>

As usual, Chris, a lawyer, looks at libertarian issues as about only about laws and not liberty. Chris is confusing the "live and let live" doctrine as grounds for suffering tyrants. However, the tyrant doesn't care about "living and letting live". Remember appeasement of Hitler?Remember "Detente".? This kind of moral relativism is responsible for much of our woes today. And it is not what libertarianism is about.



SO to Chris I say again -Only free people can live and let live. It is a logical impossibility for slave to do it. And, Juan is a slave. Elian doesn't have to be.

Ciao, Daniel
