Nothing to see here. Just your typical clean-cut All-american boy. Move along please.

Whatever happened to taking the family station wagon out for a spin with friends, a six pack of beer, girls and loud rock n roll?

Dumb stunt - but the boy has hutzpah! (mixing Yiddish with an Arab-American boy).

It is so much cooler when one of these pulls up to your house and has a talk with your parents.

Another "brave innocent". Well, he did have better luck than the last young airhead. Probably his ethnicity saved him, since unless he opened his mouth nobody knew he was a yank. He does seem to have drawn the right lessons but something tells me his wanderlust is not sated.
"Kids did it".

I have to admire his guts ... not so sure about his judgement.

Not the first kid to do something crazy; won't be the last.
Parents lived in the US 35 yrs and he's a native born American. And . . . now he's one that has seen more of the world than 90% of other Americans.
A very tough read, but it's real hard to find something to condemn when a 16 yr old does something gutsy.

Using money his parents had given him at one point, he bought a $900 plane ticket...That's some allowance.

Cool I always wanted one of those, but I got an M-978 HEMTT instead. I went to Iraq as a package deal with Uncle Sam as my travel agent back in 1991. That kid could have gone to so many different better places.

I like this kid, though I' glad he's not mine.
