Michael, Pretty much every statement you make in response 91 are assumptions for which you have no factual evidence. Just a few: "The Boy resents father for leaving his mother. The discriminated against Latin American Wife cannot provide for her and her son in the same way the father can. Communist government makes things worse. The Wife, by hook or by crook, gets money for rickety passage to America." It is pretty obvious that you weren't really discussing facts in your post, just rhetoric. Now, I don't mind if you want Elian to stay, and I am sure you have your reasons, but don't think that setting up a straw argument like you did makes it compelling. Do you believe we should follow the law? Just because you may hate Castro or the Cuban political system doesn't mean a father shouldn't have custody of his son, or that an illegal immigrant should be returned to his country. He is a Cuban citizen after all. Again, would you object if this was an American child in Cuba?
