Pairanoid?

I think it is pretty clear that the kid is going to Cuba again, Lawdog. It's also pretty clear that his life will be less than it could be if he were to stay in the US.

I've felt all along that he should be returned to his father, for the same reasons a ghetto kid who spends a week in a penthouse should be returned to his parent(s), even though it is clear that it could be a sentence to a really crummy life. It's a sad state of affairs, but kids should be with their parents, not with someone who thinks they can do better than the parents.

Please don't gloat about it. The powers of the government won (or soon will), and proved that "might is right" once again. But from the perspective of the boy's future, it is not something to be happy about, IMO.

Next will come the public broadside by the Clinton administration to try to destroy those with the temerity to publicly oppose them. It's already started, and won't stop until the family is ground into the dirt. If you want to enjoy the destruction of someone, enjoy that, not the life the kid is going back to.
