He does look forlorn, more than angry or like a leader. Maybe that makes him more dangerous? Or less. As for looking American, in another way, we look all different ways. My grandparents were all immigrants. They kept old traditions. They also worked hard and with pride to adopt traditions of the US, learn the language, become naturalized. They didn't look American, but you wouldn't dare say that to them, or any of their immigrant neighbors. I know a number of immigrants, most have kept 'old country' traditions, even the younger ones, but are truly American and love the country and the new traditions, as have generations of immigrants before them.

This whole 'new' idea of 'give back the southwest' to Mexico thing is really just a nicely timed leftists ploy, playing off Bush and the war in Iraq. The folks fueling that kind of hate are using the immigrants and illegals to further their aims. Should they succeed, their pawns will be treated just like they think of or wish to treat the rest of us. It pains me that the immigrants and/or illegals don't see that, that they think of this as some revival of Che or some revolution for themselves. Che was a socialist commie who would have sold them out at the first chance. Just look at Venezuela or Bolivia today. Bolivia - just in the news today, elected a socialist and tanks are rolling in the streets. Freedoms are disappearing. Is this really what the supporters expected? And it just goes downhill from there...
