That's what the Dad said...wait until he lives life without a computer, his IPOD and plasma TV...quoth the Father "He likes the good life...he won't find that in Cuba." How much you wanna bet he'll become Elian II. Castro will make sure this kid's life looks pretty damn good.

"...And in school, he was accused of cheating to try to win the class presidency."

If he and his supporters had just armed themselves and rushed the student president's office he'd be receiving a hero's welcome in Cuba right now.

From what the story said he did it because he met a girl. I wonder if the Cubans will respond with the decisive "leadership" clinton displayed instead of dealing with terrorists.

Whatever happened to just running away and joining the circus?

Looks to me like he did.

I saw that..sounds like to me he'd make a great Democratic political candidate someday.

I liked what his dad said-that once Junior finds out there are no iPods in Cuba, he'll want to come home...

" Diaz said he's ''furious'' at the airline for not stopping his son. ''They are going to have to explain how this happened,'' he said"

yeah.. way to place the blame on somebody else. Sorry your kid ran away.. but to blame the airlines?.. hhmmmm
i dunno about that

The biggest lesson he could learn is to have to stay there.

This story stinks. There is no direct U.S. flights that go to Cuba. The kid either would have to go through Canada or Europe.

Try Nassau. For $157. Then Havana, for $315. Both charged to Dad's credit card, of course.

The story said he spent 3 weeks in Cuba with his mother, over the summer. I would think he would know what it was like.

I can't imagine having a 14 year old CUBAN BORN son who didn't understand or appreciate why we left. Did father and son discuss that? Does the boy believe Cuba to be ok? Puzzling.
