Your question has no relevance. Admit you have no idea what went on for four months- pro or con Juan's actions. And please share your source for "sucking down the brew"! I must have missed it. I think if you are going to keep throwing it out there as fact,unless you were the one imbibing with Juan in a bar somewhere for days on end, you ought to have a reliable source for us. It's only fair, otherwise, I should start saying things like- How can you say he isn't a good father!!! For four months he stood on a dock with his thumb out begging for a ride to Fla, he even attempted to swim several times, but was dragged back by a group of communist indoctrinated dolphins. And Castro called him every night and assured him that Elian was on his way- so don't move. A book of mythology was found on his coffee table open to the tale of Icarus. Are you a parent? If so, you should be aware that a child who has been with his parents for his entire life,does not, in the space of 4 or 5 months, replace them with others. There is no doubt that Elian formed a dependent and affectionate relationship with Marisleysis et al, who certainly WERE there for him in a strange land, but as an ex- Protective Service and Foster Care worker, I have seen the force of the parent/child bond even in cases where the homelife was execrable and it doesn't just "get replaced". Perticularly in such a short period of time. "Peaceful, loving relatives." I love creative writing.
