The boy's induction is proof that he is Castro's pawn. Kudos to President Clinton and former Attorney General Janet Reno for their complicity in turning the boy over to a communist dictatorship!

Better than becoming a whining, semi-fascist capitalist pig.
Originally posted by smw6869Yes, it's amazing, isn't it, how big bad awful America has people swarming to it from every country on EARTH, yet the people's paradise of Cuba that is so wonderful has people risking their lives in rafts to get away. Odder yet is why the people who claim the evil capitalist western countries are so bad, but don't line up to escape to Cuba, where everything is so swell and they can be true communists with their brothers.
Hey..the flood gates are open to Cuba. You too can have your dream come true. Come on Poo.. walk the walk.
GHRANNY.
I suspect that it is because deep down inside they know how awful it is but can't own up to being wrong about it.
Originally posted by der schwarze RitterNo, they turned him over to his father, who has a right to custody of his son. What nation the father lives in is irrelevant in a custody hearing. It would've been great had the father come here with his wife and other child(ren). If Elian had stayed, "we" (the US media and gov't) would have used him as a propaganda machine just as Cuba did. If you had an ex-wife take your child to another country, would you be OK with him just living there with relatives instead of being returned to you?

Castro used the child for political reasons. He still does so.

Originally posted by Sam The ShamWell said. And if I remember correctly, Elian's mother DIED trying to get here (in a raft with her son and others). We honored this woman's sacrifice by sending him back to the place she gave her life escaping from.
