#1 His mother, however, sees things differently.
"I don't think I will ever leave him in the house alone again," she said. "He showed a lack of judgment."


But he learned a fu** of a lot. Good on ya Farris.

#3 This would make a great movie. Better yet lets take Berkly, yup all of it, and dump it on the Kuwait/Iraq border.

#4 I'm not quite so sanguine about the lad's little adventure. Here's a link to exerpts from the essay he wrote, apparently before he left. And the AP story I read in the local paper this morning had him hanging out at the local mosque, talking politics with the attendees, for another little "immersion journalism" project he did just before this one. However, he is apparently on his way home, according to the Associated Press, who believe him to be a good little Young Republican rich kid (Mom gave him a US$10,000 reward for some stock tips that paid off big) whose parents escaped from Iraq long before the spoiled brat was born. Oh dear, I'm afraid my opinion is showing -- so sorry!
