HAVANA (CBSMiami) – Before Elian Gonzalez was sent back to a life in Cuba, he was the center of an international drama played out between South Florida’s exile community, the U.S. government and the oppressive Castro regime.

A grown man now, the iconic image of him being pulled away from his Miami relatives, at gunpoint, will forever cause anger and heartbreak over what might have been.

Now 23 years old, Gonzalez walks down the street of his hometown in Cardenas, Cuba, seemingly happy.

He does allow himself to think about what his life might be like had he not been sent back to his father in Cuba.

1. I agree...

The Cuban community in Florida was playing this situation up to the MAX! Glad the DOJ & Janet Reno were able to get him safely home to his FATHER!

2. Amazing isn't it.

That little boy, as sweet as he was, may have inadvertently changed the course of U.S. history - and very much for the worse, sadly.
