[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Actually, Omega, in every single conversation I've had with you you've demonstrated a woefully inadequate grasp of even the most basic of facts, and this one is no different. I must admit I see no reason to continue bashing my head against your particular brick wall. However, when it comes to ignorance, I have a bit of a masochistic streak. So, let's deal with a few things, shall we? First of all, according to the Constitution, the job of the executive branch of the government is to enforce such laws as are made by Congress. The President organizes such agencies as are seen necessary to accomplish this constitutionally mandated task. One of these agencies, in fact the one whose primary task is to see to the enforcement of the criminal justice system, is the Department of Justice. At its head is a person known as the Attorney General. Ever hear of the FBI? It is a Federal law enforcement agency. Guess who its ultimate boss below the President is? The Attorney General. Now, this next part might gall you, but, so what? In this sort of situation, custody reverts to the surviving parent. It has in uncounted numbers of similar cases since who knows when. Unfortunately, few of those children came from nations with ultra-powerful lobbys living inside the United States. We've sent Haitian children back without so much as a how do you do because A.) That's the agreed upon international law, and B.) There is no well-off Haitian emigrant community in the U.S. Omega, you have in the past shown yourself to be in favor of a rather extreme form of isolationism for the United States. That's fine, so far as it goes. But then you turn around and essentially advocate that the U.S. go through the world and steal children from every nation that we don't like. The question is simple: Does the United States have the right to remove children from their parents because we disagree with their politics? The answer is no. And yet the implication you give is that the United States is only limited in what it can do to those of us thinking "right thoughts", and should have free reign over the rest of the world.
