"I'm an American now! I'm an American now!"

The words of Iraqi five-year-old Hamoody, on hearing his asylum request had been granted. He's blind because he was shot in the face by insurgents. You know, those "minute men" that are the true Iraqi patriots according to Michael Moore? Deliberately shooting children.

Is it too much to ask that Some People (mumblemumbleliketheDemocraticCandidatemumblemumble) show even a tenth as much joy at being American? If a five-year-old child can figure it out, why can't you?

Welcome to the family, Hamoody. We're glad you're here.
