agree totally , a bunch of lunatics, no-one else in the world would want to see a kid seperated from his only parent, simply because he lives in cuba.

There's been lots of talk about *The Son* and *The Father*, but no one says a word about the mother. Her wish was that he leave Cuba, and she gave her life to see that wish fulfilled. Wouldn't Elian's return to Cuba render her death meaningless? And doesn't the father's desire to quickly return to Cuba demonstrate a lack of common sense? He was offered nearly $2 million to defect; if someone offered me *one* million to move to the UK, I'd be on the next plane to Stansted!
She left cuba to be together with her boyfriend She risked Elian's life What kinda mother is that?
His father was offered 2 million dolalrs? You got those informations from the Rebs???? Besides you cant make Elian's father think the way you do. He might be a communist, he might be a person who loves his country like I do to America

to
cuba.
Her wish is meaningless. She is dead and Elian has one surviving parent. He makes the decisions for his family now. As it should be.
It's meaningless anyway. Hundreds of Cubans die trying to reach Florida shores every year. Her death was as meaningless, or as meaningful, as any or all of the others. No more or less because a relative on the same boat happened to survive. Perhaps I sound callous, but I've been living in South Florida for about 25 years, and this has been a part of my life since the 70's. Hell, some of my best friends are Marielitos.
A man forced to leave his country to retrieve his child wants to return with the child to his homeland, and you see this as a lack of common sense? Pot/Kettle/etc.
If anything, admire his sense of patriotism. I'm sure plenty of people would sell out their homeland, and their own grandmothers for that matter, for two million US dollars.

Agree, too. The Miami family just wouldn't obey the law. Reno didn't have a choice. I have no sympathy for them at all. Elian might've been frightened during those moments, but he's now with his loving father. I watched with disgust Marislesys and that fisherman guy go on hysterically about what the INS had to do. Both were in big need of a slap in the face. And now we see people stupid enough to look at that picture with the guy with the gun and condemn the INS just because the pic looks bad. The guy didn't have his finger on the trigger and the fisherman guy was not cooperating. Looks can be deceiving.
How would you know? You can seance with her? It's pointless to speculate on what the dead would want. The bottom line is that his father is still alive and so Elian must return to him.
What, you want him to accept a bribe?

About the picture... It appears to me that the fisherman was using Elian as a human shield
hmmm??

Reno is the man!!!!! I mean the strong woman "Willie Westwood" wrote in message news:[email]...
Until the past 2 weeks I had trouble forming an opinion, but I totally agree with the above now. The family acted so stupidly; they polarized and politicized the situation beyond what could be imagined and refused to act rationally. At times their behavior evoked the whole "jihad" (holy war) syndrome in the Middle East, where attempts to reason become useless.
Now just watch the presidential campaign shift 75% of its focus to this incident instead of everything else.
We cannot blame Reno for sending SWAT in, because the family refused to turn the Elian in, it has turned into a hostage crisis. Of course we cannot expect the SWATs to send in candy and dressup like women to take the child. Breaking doors to rush in, yelling are unique tactics. The bottom line is : Elian belongs to Juan Fidel Castro has proved to Americans that the Cuban exiles are as bad and Al Gore has nothing to do with this :)
Well, if they had dressed up as tooth fairies...

OK- how about this:
Substitute "mother" for "father" and vice versa in this situation and hypothesize what would have happened. And a lot sooner, too.
So in other words, you find something wrong with the USA too if you would move to the UK. In Cuba, the boy has a chance of growing up with fewer taxes, no toy stores to improve his imagination and relatively disease free as those with communicable diseases are put into a hospital. The finest cigars are available for his adulthood. Why is everybody concerned about the boy when the next words out of their mouths are "Castro"? Why doesn't anyone crucify the Miami family for holding the kid hostage against the courts desires? I would charge the fisherman Dalrymple with depraved indifference for hiding with the kid in a closet. NO WONDER THE COPS HAD THEIR GUNS DRAWN! And it wasn't even pointed at the kid. It is all about Castro, not Elien. When the police tell you to put your hands up you do it! That is what the US courts system is for. They never told the kid he had to go back to CUBA, just to his daddy. This subject is not even for alt.southpark. What the hell are we whining about? Elien, or an Illegal Alien?

Not at all; I just value money more than an intangible concept like "patriotism". The UK is just as "free" a nation as the US, I have friends there, the language is the same, and the quality and availability of consumer goods, housing, food etc. is comparable. So why *not* move for a million?
