That article is a bunch of bunk! The people preventing the family from reuniting and healing their wounds certainly was our government. Imagine, a family cares for a young boy for 6 months and they don't even let them see eachother for one moment in order to say goodbye. I don't need a PHD in child development to know that was NOT healthy for Elian. His last imagines of Marisleysis and Lazaro's face as he was ripped out of their home by rifle totting agents dressed in riot gear will forever be etched in his mind. Clinton's "I really wanted them to stay" was the most brazen "I really think you all are stupid" phrase I've heard in a long time. When will people wake up and smell the coffee in order to understand the type of people running this administration? I guess a forty pund brick is required for some writers. Do they have any bricks in Fort Worth? Hello! McFlide Mark Davis...knock, knock, anyone home? :) Michael

But their Supreme Court appeal was the final piece of evidence that Elian's well-being was never higher than second on the Miami relatives' priority list. I think this sentence is particularly apt. Maybe the relatives just got caught up in the momentum and couldn't find a way to be generous in the end. It would have been hard to do anything but carry it through to the end. After all, they do have to continue to live in Miami. But I don't feel sorry for them any more. Karen
