U.S. Teen Runs Away to Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Maybe it was the time the taxi dumped him at the Iraq-Kuwait border, leaving him alone in the middle of the desert. Or when he drew a crowd at a Baghdad food stand after using an Arabic phrase book to order. Or the moment a Kuwaiti cab driver almost punched him in the face when he balked at the $100 fare.

But at some point, Farris Hassan, a 16-year-old from Florida, realized that traveling to Iraq by himself was not the safest thing he could have done with his Christmas vacation.

Oh look, another insightful journalism student...
It begins with a high school class on "immersion journalism" and one overly eager — or naively idealistic — student who's lucky to be alive after going way beyond what any teacher would ask.

As a junior this year at a Pine Crest School, a prep academy of about 700 students in Fort Lauderdale, Hassan studied writers like John McPhee in the book "The New Journalism," an introduction to immersion journalism — a writer who lives the life of his subject in order to better understand it.

A 16-yr. old kid is smarter than all the libs put together. If he gets it why can't they??

"There is a struggle in Iraq between good and evil, between those striving for freedom and liberty and those striving for death and destruction," he wrote.

"Those terrorists are not human but pure evil. For their goals to be thwarted, decent individuals must answer justice's call for help. Unfortunately altruism is always in short supply. Not enough are willing to set aside the material ambitions of this transient world, put morality first, and risk their lives for the cause of humanity. So I will."

The kid was being real smart all right... He should have taken the model libs such as Kerry and Kennedy and used them as a point men. Kerry to bank roll the endever and Kennedy to find the booze and food.... :D
 
So how does a teenager purchase an international plane ticket? I am assuming he already had his passport.
 
Ya know, this kid is an inspiration. He got off his ass & went to see for himself. A tad lacking in judgement but that's supposed t be the case in a teenager. The more I hear about him, the more I respect him.
 
Would that not require I had one first?

Really until you tell me that you include those errors
on purpose I'm gonna rider yer ass aboot it ferever!
