What a great story. It really is nice to have some postive news like this on such a dark day (I'm praying for you Terri).

Who wants to take bets on how many lefty protestors would be willing to do something like this?

No blood for oil! First they invade Iraq to take over its oil (although you wouldn't notice it from the gas prices!), now they're kidnapping Iraqi children? When will the madness end?!

U.S. Soldier Adopts Disabled Iraqi Boy - In 2003, while volunteering at an orphanage for disabled children in Baghdad, National Guard Capt. Scott Southworth met Ala'a, a young Iraqi boy who could not walk because of cerebral palsy. Now Ala'a, nearly 10, lives with Southworth in Wisconsin, and a doctor recently gave the pair great news: Ala'a soon may be able to walk.
'Back to Reality' On his tour of duty in Iraq, Southworth, now 32, was helping to train Iraqi police, a difficult job in a war zone and the triple-digit Baghdad heat.

I'm surprised they said he was a Christian. You don't see many positive stories about Christians in the main stream press these days.
