THIS
I was in high school when this mess started, and it was quite easy to see from the beginning this was completely wrong. I later had (had being no longer) a friend born to a Palestinian father who migrated here (to I must say TREMENDOUS success in his line of work) and an American born Christian mother.
Opinions of Islam aside - the calls his father would get regarding the state of Damascus and loved ones with no way out will haunt me until the end.
McStain and the rest cannot go down as heroes.
