Some remember this kid. His mother risked their lives for a chance of a better life in the U.S. Unfortunately she drowned on the trip here as did many of the other relatives. Why would these people want to leave Cuba? Ill tell you why the same reason the Van Trapp Family left Nazi Austria, or countless numbers of athletes from communist countries defected during the 'cold war'. Maybe the same reason so many folks tried to dig, crawl, even try to balloon over the Berlin wall. They all wanted a chance to be free. FREEDOM!!! Freedom to succeed or to fail. But the chance to do what you want to do with your life. This lady has been criticized for trying to give her son a better life. And died trying.
We know the rest of the story. Clinton's goons came and bombarded his families home as if they were drug lords or mafia members. Their argument was he needs to be with his father. Why did the mother leave the father anyway. We have all seen the photos of him in his commie youth uniform.
Im sure his mother is turning in her watery grave. The commies are smart tho. He has become a hero in his country. Him and his dad are leaders now in the government.
He basically has all he would ever want to have. He will never see the true commie way. He will never lack. He wont be like the others in his country who still drive 1950s cars, or go to filthy overly crowded hospitals. He and his dad are not part of the elite. Of course he wont ever want to come back or leave Cuba.Its Utopia. But for his mom and the majority of the Cuban nation. They are all equal. Equally poor, with all the 'privileges' an individual in a communist country gets.
I hope someday Elian knows the truth and will respect his mother for giving her life to try and give her son a life of freedom. Unfortunately he probably never will.
WHINE!
