   Education in America can’t compare to this: ARTICLE and PICTURE – Cuban President Fidel Castro and Elian Gonzales during the commemoration of the fifth anniversary of Elian’s return to Cuba.

   “I would like to thank the support the American public gave our cause,” Elian, in his school uniform and maroon Pioneers’ communist youth scarf, said late Friday with President Fidel Castro looking on, at a ceremony marking the fifth anniversary of his return from relatives’ care in Miami, within earshot of the US Interests Section here.

   “That was the happiest day of my life,” said Elian, reading from a prepared text. He urged the United States to allow the return to Cuba of another girl whose case he described as similar to his own.

   How cute. Now, I understand why liberals were so anxious to return Elian to Cuba.

   But, of course, many of you might want to compare this to a debate on a flat Earth rather than admit how horrible the seizure was.

   However, now Elian can come back to the U.S. in a few years and hardly recognize any difference between what we will become and Cuba.

   More cute Elian pictures….

   After 5 years of indoctrination Elian Gonzalez told the CBS 60 Minutes interviewer that ‘he never had a good moment in Miami.’ …Janet Reno said that she ordered the raid to forcefully remove Elian from his house in Miami, because “the child had to be returned to his father.” Now, five years later, Elian told 60 Minutes that he considers Castro his ‘father.’ Was Castro the ‘father’ that Reno had in mind for Elian? …Fidel Castro promised that he would never use Elian Gonzalez for political purposes if the child was returned to Cuba. Did he lie?

   …Tony Zizza is a freelance writer and advocate for fathers rights, who also serves as the Vice President of the State of Georgia for the nonprofit organization, Parents For Label and Drug Free Education. Mr. Zizza was one of those who were in favor of returning Elian Gonzalez to Cuba to be with his “biological father.” However, six years later Mr. Zizza now believes that he made a mistake because he didn’t understand what it meant for Elian to be returned to a totalitarian society like Castro’s Cuba.

   Reading – a Cuban author who publicly masterbated on a Cuban flag did not get a publishing deal. He got published on the island anyhow. And their little “book presentation” stunt outside La Cabana went off without a hitch. Even the now famous Cuban “punk rocker” Gorki (who sings about killing women and who Marc and Yoani told us was being banned – but actually just played their music too loud) made it. How lovely.

   Writing – Yoani misrepresents the words of the Cuban Communications Minister regarding the internet. While Valdes made clear Cuba would like to expand access to all Cubans when the Venezuelan fiber optic line is completed, Yoani tries to tell us something else.

   Watching – We can talk about Cuba allowing bootleg satellite dishes when the US Government stops illegally using other country’s airwaves (and now our own) to broadcast naked propoganda, aimed at regime change (TV Marti, which can be found on Direct TV – against US law). The Cubans have often turned the other way at satellites, but with the US’ stepped up (and illegal) efforts the Govt. periodicly feels forced to make an example out of some of the most egregious black marketeers.
