I'll bet something nearly opposite: lefty protestors are out there who would protest something like this. They will say that this Marine is engaging in "cultural imperialism" - poor Ala'a, no doubt blinded by Disneyland and fancy US medicine and toys, is being robbed of the autocthonic, indigenous culture into which he was born.

Not if they saw this new family together. This boy just glows with joy and happiness and you can tell, even with his disabilities that he is grateful. And the 'new dad' seems to be adjusting well to being a father.

I hope we see more of this story.
