Tony, and it should not be any of Castro's business either. What if it is true that Elian is now Castro's ward and is not going back to his father for some period of time... Under most circumstances I totally agree about governments staying out of families... Hopefully the little kid will not grow up to be anything like the adults that have so screwed up this whole matter.

This case is similar to Waco Texas, where the ATF tried to uphold the law. The "civil" libertarians reasoned that the Branch Davidians were just law abiding citizens with guns. Never mind about the systematic brainwashing of the dimwits who bought the crap that came from that Meglomaniac David Koresh. They where also breaking the law with illegal weapons, plain and simple. The ATF tried to uphold the law and it ended up in a blazen suicide, which, the "civil" libertarians blamed on the ATF. It was Koresh that lit match and spread the gasoline. He commited Murder on the innocent children that were entrapped in this. The "civil" libertarians who are plainly against any form of civil order, being the anarchists they are, don't see the evil that Koresh was and are clearly blinded by their political idealism. In my Country, Koresh would've been arrested for kidnapping and possesion of illegal arms weeks before the ATF got there. Your country has too much tolerance for schenanigans that go on, all the in the name of "Organized Religion" and "Protection of the Constitution". Whatever happened to "common sense"? Now with Elian Gonzales, Janet Reno had to uphold the law. Now the wackos, who are politically motivated and think the Cold War is still on, are protesting trying to start another fire similar to the event that happened in Waco. The law is the law, period. Without it there's anarchy.

Anthony, being a divorced dad, with joint custody,(I have my girls 15 days a mo.)I totally agree with you on this one. Hey, Cuba with Castro in charge may not be the greatest place to grow up in, but, you are born where you are born. I gotta say that I was born in america but my family wasn't doing that great finacially. My father worked in a factory as a machinist and my mother worked in a cookie factory. We lived in an apartment building with 5 other families and other kids had T.V.'s, but we didn't. My dad was a drinker and wasn't the nicest to my mom at times but I turned out OK. (EXCEPT FOR ecnc ;>))!)Don't rub it in! You are born where you are born and your parents are your parents!! Kids belong with there parents!!! EOM. Didn't like the way the INS took him out of his bed.

Anthony....couldn't have said it better. The audacity of the cuban family and the cuban community to politicize this situation is a disgrace. The cuban community has dug their own grave and because of their behavior, hopefully the U.S. government will re-evaluate their "favored" status they have taken advantage of in the past. If this had been a little boy from Haiti, you think all this foolishness would have happened??...don't think so. As far as Miami is concerned, the politicians are just as corrupt as any in the world and they have demonstrated why. Also..where was the press and Miami Herald in their "objective" investigative reporting of the situation?? Why is it that a reporter from the New York Times had to reveal that both the Cuban family uncles had a past of drunken driving and having their driving licenses suspended, not forgetting one uncle not being able to keep a steady job for 5 years now. Tell me about whats best for the child.
