I mean, I just stayed inside for a couple weeks, people looked at me differently on the street. Oh wait, that didn't happen. Minor quibble: I disagree that Cho is close to being second generation: 8 is old enough to be uprooted and shocked by a transnational move. I do agree that his act was fundamentally American— the take-away for right-wing commentators should be that assimilation is working. Also agree that the 115 people who were blown up in Baghdad today should be a bigger story. It comes down to man-bites-dog, though, right?
