[Smartaleck]

"You are either an alien or a citizen, there is no other alternative, and you can't be both."

I beg to differ.
From the dictionary......
4.A native, inhabitant, or denizen of a particular place: “We have learned to be citizens of the world, members of the human community” (Franklin D. Roosevelt).

What you and others are insisting but can't seem to articulate is US Citizen. Gonzales didn't say that.

Just as an atheist can model good Christian behavior, he does not have to be a Christian to do so. Likewise, a person does not have to technically be a citizen...as in US citizen to model good citizenship.

What you and others are insisting but can't seem to articulate is US Citizen. Gonzales didn't say that.

Yes, US citizen was implied. Gonazles is seeking to be Attorney Generel of the US, not of the world. If citizen of the world is what he was referring to, then let him pursue a job at the UN. Besides, citizen of the world is a loose term with no real meaning.
