INCORPORATED 1993 No place like home Power games between Cuba and the United States are jeopardizing the future of young Elian Gonzalez—yet the solution is decidedly simple he case of Elian Gonzalez is a sad commentary on the strained and out-of-control political relations between the T United States and Cuba. All sides must put their political agendas aside and reach the only logical conclusion—the boy must be returned home. Gonzalez's mother, stepfather and 10 others died late last month after the aluminum boat carrying them and five-year-old Gonzalez sunk. The boy, who was one of only three survivors, was picked up 20 miles off the coast of Florida and taken to his great- aunt and uncle in Miami. Since the boy was rescued, his father—who claims that Gonzalez, now six, was kidnapped by his mother—has been publicly petitioning the United States to return his son to his native Cuba. Economic pressure can help prevent And there's no reason at all why America should not. To start, any Cuban refugee who is picked up in water is auto­ matically repatriated, as per U.S. immigration policy. further Russian imperialist aggression But even without these laws—if this case were simply an episode within American borders—the boy would be and should be 100,000 troops in Chechnya. returned home.
