What sort of idiotic country allows expatriates to vote? My understanding (though it may be flawed) is that these people are now citizens of other countries (in this case - Australia). So, are they allowed to maintain dual-citizenship? How stupid is that?

I wonder how many nationalized US citizens from Mexico actually maintain citizenship of Mexico too.... I thought the naturalization oath made you forsake all other citizenship, but I could be wrong.

I also know that Jewish people are allowed to maintain dual citizenship US/Israel.....

And I still don't see a legitimate purpose...

I wonder if McCain and Kerry have dual citizenship - Chi-Com/US citizens.

Um... the United States would be one of them. In fact, I don't know of any country that doesn't.
