Gosh most adults in DIVORCES can't act like adults- and they only have personal agendas (usually)- here there was both a personal and a political agenda on both sides. Yikes. But I'm glad the case was decided consistent with the rights of parents- and it's funny, this case has exposed a lot of conservatives (big champs for the rights of parents in THIS country) as rather huge hypocrites when it comes to the rights of parents in OTHER countries. But you can bet your bippee, or anything else, they'd want THEIR rights protected in another country.<p> Ah well. If humans were consistent they wouldn't be so humerous.

The Miami relatives share a small percentage of the guilt because of their actions. But our government shares a much bigger slice of the pie. However, that article laid the guilt on only the Miami Relatives. Our governments role was not even addressed. Not very balanced or fair if you ask me. Newsmax.com has nothing on that guys gross slant. He may be reasonable on other issues. But on this one, he's nothing more than a rhetorical mouthpiece for the administration. It was all about politics from the beginning. Politics was the driving force dictating the outcome, the methods used, and the lack of reunion or coming together at the end. Politics....Nothing more, nothing less. Unfortunate that a little boy was used as a political pawn by our government and the marxist un-democratic dictatorship of Cuba. Michael
