#1 Kudos to Mohammed! Put this guy in charge of something, ANYTHING! The Iraqi nation will then be in good hands!

Dammit Murat! THIS is how a REAL human being behaves!

#2 Maybe we could get him to do a swing through the USA. There are an awful lot of folks over here who don't know when to stand up and do the right thing.

#3 It's wonderful that several colleges in WV have offered scholarships to Lynch after her ordeal, but there should definitely be some reward for this brave man and his wife as well.

#4 He's an Iraqi lawyer, and his wife is a nurse, so they're pretty well set up there. I wouldn't put him on a pedestal or have him show his face for a few years, to avoid revenge killings.

To be blunt, someone experienced in Law with this kind of heart is desperately needed in his own country to help rebuild the government. Thus, my call to put him in charge of something. Temporary administration.

In the meantime, I wonder if a Blogosphere Thank You Fund to send reward money to Iraqis who behave like Mohammed, as well as Mohammed himself, isn't in order. Government reward money is one thing, but the Muslim culture is very heavy into Alms, and they know how to put value on money coming from individuals, rather than the government. I think $1000 from individual Americans would mean more emotionally than $10,000 from the US Government.

#7 Wow, Murat. Did you save up all that bile while you took a vacation from posting, to make sure you could take all the cheap shots possible upon your return? Might want to watch the plural/single agreement when writing, though. Bad grammar ruins many a point.

#8 Murat, since you know nothing about the naturalization process in the US, you only entertain us with uninformed and illinformed comments. One has to apply for citizenship and go through a period of process, sometimes several years. There is no automatic citizenship for those not born here or of American parentage. Mexican women actually illegally enter the country for the sole purpose of insuring their children are born on US soil in order to establish legal American citizenship. Our military is voluntary. Further, there is no requirement for one to be a citizen to enlist in the armed services, though you can not get a secret clearence and are therefore prohibited from certain military occupational specialities. Twice in my career I had junior enlisted personnel who had applied for citizenship ask me to stand with them when they received theirs. I consider each instances of the highest honors of my uniform experience to do so. These young men had probably also applied for citizenship as well but had not completed the full process. Even though the process was not completed as normal, they were granted their request for citizenship. The military also after death has awarded medals and promotions. It is not just a respect, but, if they were married or family men, the citizenship allows their family to apply for visa and citizenship entitlments. Note well, Murat, they were indeed not born here, but valued what America is and can be as to be so dedicated to give service and the ultimate sacrifice to their adopted country. No one forced them at the end of gun to go to the frontlines of the combat as your neighbors are doing. America is a country of every race, color and creed. It is a cross section of the world unlike any other nation state. Which is why we give little ear to those who denouce our imperfections while the world they live in has decades, nay, centuries to even come close to us in peacefully integrating so many races, colors, and creeds in a system which permits each opportunities to advance themselves and their posterity far beyond those found elsewhere. If you can do a better job, then do it. Don't talk, do.
