"But then it's back to the "the father has all rights" argument."

Well, um ... yeah. What principle do you propose in its place?

You speak of Freedom - are you willing to accord others that same freedom in deciding where they choose to live and raise their families? You can't impose Freedom, you know ... you can only permit it, get out of its way.

I think that Juan Miguel genuinely prefers Cuba .. this belief is based on available information of his immediate actions on finding Eli n taken last November ... this preference may surprise you, but it does not surprise me ... i know several resident cubanos to some extent, and one fairly well - he does not wish to emigrate, having had many chances to do so [i meet the guy only outside of Cuba] ... he has a family in Cuba, and likes it there ... and btw, he looks forward to change, though with some trepidation as to its accompanying upheaval [read 'bloodshed'] ... to his view, resident cubanos feel very much caught between the two extremist camps, the communists and the batistianos of Miami.

So if you feel you have a right to take Eli n, what about Hianny .. are you going to take him? ... and how about every minor child of chinese who enters your nation? ... what are your principles, exactly where and on what basis are you drawing the line in your claim to the son of Juan Miguel Gonz lez Quintana?
