Book mark this, remember you heard it here first ( Maybe some of you have already seen this but I haven't ).

As soon as relations with Cuba are normalized, the religious left, Big Media, and the other usual socialists will begin demanding that the US pay reparations for the "damage" we've done to the Cuban people with our 40+ year embargo. A nice round trillion sounds about right.

After I've thought about this, there is no hypocrisy here. There is actually a chilling consistency.

The LAW doesn't say Elian goes back to Cuba. The law gives the Executive the power to decide. Clinton has arbitrarily decided ( at least he refuses to explain the reasoning behind his decision ) that the kid goes back.

Here's the bottom line. When the rapist says "The important thing to me is the rule of law," he means "The law is what I say it is and we will use all the force at our disposal to enforce our dictates."

Where's the inconsistency?
