All letters are subject to editing for brevity and clarity.
Preference will be given to letters less than 200 words. I am a Cuban-born American and have been following closely the events presented by our media on Elian Gonzales, the small boy shipwrecked attempting to leave Cuba. The boy's needs seem simple to understand to me, as well as what our country should do as a nation of free and caring people. The Castro government made it very clear to my mother that we might never see our father again. They do not have laws as we know them or care about human rights.
