It's a great day for a Cuba controversy; let's play two!

Feds Take ‘Reverse Elian’ Case

We failed to distinguish ourselves, even if we eventually reached the right outcome. Let’s see how Cuba does.

Actually, though I can’t imagine why anyone would choose Cuba over the US, I have heard that Cuba’s educational system is run incredibly well. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

This situation is a real situation (Elian only had one surviving parent, case closed to me) because both parents are still around. Still, I doubt this will be a bay of pigs affair. The mom will probably, for whatever reason she went in the first place, stay in Cuba and raise a good fascist.

I don’t see the comparison here. This seems to be a bitter custody dispute between 2 parents, not any different from others that have been well-publicized recently with one parent in the US and the other back in some native country with the kids.

Elian Gonzalez had a great-uncle claiming to have a better right to his custody than his own, proven-loving, father. That was an obvious call, if you separate the jingoism.

This poor kid has 2 parents with equal rights and no way to resolve it except by person-to-person agreement.

The location of mother and son is still in question. Cuba is a good bet, but not proven. Let’s see where they turn up before we start with the rhetoric.

Yeah, but one of the parents is having his rights violated and the other isn’t.
