So what are you suggesting? That the unnamed Afghan-American gives up his
heretage and agrees to bomb his fellow decendents, those, that is,  who
were maybe not as fortunate as him, who did not have the opportunity to
make a new life in a new country?

We've had this discussion in the UK - the famous Norman Tebitt blunder: the
test of your nationality depends whether you support England or Pakistan in
the Test. (I'll elaborate if you wish). Needless to say, he got slated -
and rightly so!
