Hmm, I reckon some places it ain't easy being christian either.

Back when I was in the Navy, I recall some pretty harsh times abroad. I wonder if I can sue them because they didn't tell me life could be tough away from home???

I bet there's some kids in Compton California that wouldn't be anymore traumatized by such treatment than they already have been. Then again, they didn't have a choice in the matter, so I suppose that makes it different.

Not that I'm saying the exchange program isn't at fault, but the boy survived, and maybe learned a thing or two about how the rest of the world really works. Might be some value in that.

Then again, if it were my kids, I reckon I'd be on the next flight to Cairo looking for some payback.
