When federal agents stormed a home in the Little Havana community, snatched Elian Gonzalez from his father's relatives and put him on a path back to his father in Cuba, thousands of Cuban-Americans took to Miami's streets. Their anger helped elect George W. Bush months later and simmered long after that.
It is really too bad the memory of Elian is fading. I would like to see the picture of the uncle and the child with a gun pointed at them on every newspaper front page as a reminder.
ReplyDeleteSadder yet is the memory the same people, Reno and Clinton, were responsible for Waco and Ruby Ridge.
