It is, of course, stupid beyond belief.
The fact is those agents were ordered there by the INS (I believe) and that they were there to conduct a raid of a house to secure a target and that they did their job with efficiency.
The Gonzalez family in Miami is obviously lying. They're trying to turn Elian Gonzalez into another Vietnam, that is, a war of ideologies.
Their tactics have left a very sour taste in my admittedly far-left mouth.
Let us scrutinize them:
-They have claimed that a boy, barely out of his toddler stages, has expressed interest in seeking political asylum.
-They use photographs as proof that the boy wishes to stay in America because he is happy. Never mind that fact that the child has absolutely no grasp of geo-political borders and governments, and that the boy is merely smiling like any boy would because he has been lavished with expensive toys.
-They claim that archived statements of the boy shouting that he wished to return to Cuba, translated from Spanish, are lies, though the videotape clearly shows him saying it.
Facts of the matter:
-Elian has expressed his wishes to be returned to Cuba with his father.
-His father is fit and able and thus has every right to have custody of Elian.
-Elian, once reunited with his father, has asked when they were going back home (to Cuba.)
-Anybody other than a 6 year old boy would have been immediately deported. (Come on, you know it as well as I do.)
-National sentiment is with the boy and his father. National political sentiment is also with the boy and his father. The only people who want to break a family apart are the Cubans in Miami. I think this speaks volumes alone for Fidel Castro and the people who "ran" from him.
-He was kidnapped, taken against his will (that of his legal guardian's consent,) and brought to a foreign country. Had this happened in the child going to say, the United States to Mexico, he would *IMMEDIATELY* be returned.
I dunno, the people in Miami are frankly being jerks. I got tired of this whole Elian thing months ago, and I just wanted the kid to go back with his goddam father where he belonged. The Miami family is nothing but scum. My only regret about the raid was that none of them were armed, because truly, they deserve death. I just hope they die some other way. I wish they could read this. I really do. I want them to know that somebody, somewhere, wants them dead for all the shit they've pulled. Of course, I'm sure the U.S. justice system will find some way, some how to screw this one up too. Most powerful nation in the world? Naw, just the most arrogant. And people actually ask why I despise that country
