I am surprised that no one has started up a fund to award this brave family.
I'm assuming that Atty General Ashcroft's offer of a green card for any Muslim coming forward with valuable information against terrorism would apply to this case.

For openers . . .

This man, who has never set foot in our fantastic and beautiful country, has more respect for freedom than these idiotic, spoiled-rotten protesters. I would trade him for all of Hollywood (and a large part of NYC)!

He doesn't know it yet, but he belongs to America.

Let us bring him home.

Bummer....this doesn't bode well for my "nuke 'um all" stance. This man and his wife are truly brave souls.

Allowing him to go to the refugee camp really bothered me
. . . except that it that area all our own are living in tents, too--there ain't no Holiday Inn rooms available at the moment. I was just glad to know that his family was where Saddam's writ doesn't run. Patience.

I do hope you're joking. You never wanted to "nuke 'um all," did you?

Myself as well.

These brave souls did the right thing.

Bring them to America. Give them a few thousand dollars to set themselves up in some sort of business.

Then, stand back and watch them make themselves millionaires.

I really mean it. These people have risked their lives for us and they were not sworn to do it. It was a pure act of kindness on their part.

We are (justly) hard on our enemies.

Let us be generous to our friends!

Hmmm. Your post is a little hard to read, the english seems to be broken.

If you are refering to the Iraqi who gave the U.S. the information that led to the rescue of PFC Lynch, well he deserves a good reward.

Bring him and his family home, to America.

Although from time to time I have thought it would be no big loss to destroy that whole part of the world, no, I really wouldn't want to "nuke 'um all".

Haven't you read all the "green glass" comments and animated nuke Mecca GIFs all over FreeRepublic since 11 Sep 2001? There are a significant number of posters here who would like nothing more than for a new Crusade.

I wish more were like him!

I'm not sure both you and I know how many Muslims are like him and how many are like the picture of those american flag chewers we saw several days ago.

Citizenship for sure...

What if any award does we have for foreign nationals who risk their lives like this to save an American?

Do we have such a thing?

"Hopefully Mohammed will be allowed to be a player in the rebuilding of his country.

The ideal solution would be to not only allow him a say in building the new government, but to also appoint him as chief justice of the new Iraqi Supreme Court or similar high legal post. I like his idea of justice!

"Give this man and his family citizenship."

As I said on another thread this man would make an excellent intrim President for Iraq

I know you are not "anti-Muslim." We may not agree on everything, but you are a thinking man, which I appreciate.
