Again whether Cuba is a dictatorship or a wholly free democratic society is irrelevant. You would interfere with the sovereignty of Cuba, with the rights of a father, the very same rights that we recognize for our own citizens, and through some process all your own proclaim that you know better about Juan Miguel's parental/custodial status in Cuba. The fact that Cuba is disposed to allow Juan Miguel here to bring Elian back is more than enough proof that Juan Miguel has such standing and support of the Cuban government.

You're going at this backwards. Juan proved to the INS that he was the legal father of Elian Gonzales in Dec. That's all he had to do to establish his rights. He IS the father of Elian--- All parents have rights until they are terminated. You are trying to turn a subjective opinion of Juan and a hatred of communism into some reason to justify taking him from his natural father, and legally, the options are about exhausted. Again, the standards for such an action are set high, necessarily, intentionally, and thankfully so, or we would be inundated with cases questioning half the parents in America.
