<< You were praising Clinton in the Kosovo thread, now he is like Castro...what's the matter, doc is not prescribing medication anymore. >> Clinton's decision to save millions of innocent Kosovo Albanians from the Slob Milosevic's murderers and rapists, deserves praise. You, OTOH, would prefer inaction, by the world, in the face of tyrants and their genocide. Clinton's decision to invade a private home, using tear gas and machine guns, deserves condemnation. As long as Elian was in that home, he was free and his father was free. Now, Elian and his father are both in jeopardy. You, OTOH, were supportive of Milosevic and now, of Castro. Who's going to be on your next pin-up poster? <g>

George, enjoy your post as usual. Thanks. I think whoever considered this L zaro Gonz lez, Elian's great-uncle, as an eligible candidate for the adoption of the child is out-of-their mind. Here is the proof. granma.cu "New York Times" reveals criminal record of Eli n?s family in the United States WASHINGTON.- The February 9 edition of The New York Times revealed that the kidnappers of Cuban child Eli n Gonz lez have received various convictions for drunk driving, robbery and violence. According to the influential publication, L zaro Gonz lez, the minor?s great-uncle who is attempting to obtain custody of Eli n, was convicted four times in the last 10 years for driving under the influence of alcohol. One of L zaro?s brothers, Delf¡n, also has a drinking problem and has received a similar number of convictions in the same period for drunk driving, the Times states. The daily goes on to mention that L zaro?s two nephews have had even worse problems with U.S. justice. A 13-year sentence is hanging over one of them, Jos‚ Cid, on counts of robbery, forgery and violation of parole. The other nephew, Luis, is set to appear before a Miami court on February 18 for a robbery committed last September. Those problems could influence the decision of any jury at the moment of granting that family custody of Eli n, who is being claimed by his father and grandparents in Cuba, states The New York Times. A professor at the University of Miami who is an expert on family law informed the newspaper that, without any doubt, this would have an impact on the capacity of those adults to raise the child. Meanwhile, a survey by the ABC television network reveals that 55% of U.S. citizens are in favor of the child?s return to his family in Cuba, in compliance with the decision of the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
