Recently I saw this thing on the news where they were praising a soldier that met an Iraqi kid in Iraq and brought him to US to have a heart surgery. The surgery was performed and now the kid is happy and healthy. The soldier was killed in Iraq. Soldiers wife bought the kid a gaming console.
So.. I'm thinking to myself... There's so many people in this country that need heart surgery, but they get sent away because their medical isurance is not good enough, or because they are not rich enough... It's unbelievable how they will do an extremely expencive surgery to a random Iraqi kid, but someone who was born in this country can be turned down.
I know that the surgery was done by some non profit/saint type guys, but it doesnt change my main point...
Now I'm thinking.. Since we are this dumb.. Why stop here?! Let's give free heart surgery to all Iraqi kids! Let's buy them all game consoles. How is this one any more "special" than the many other sick and helpless Iraqi kids... Let's put all the taxpayers dollars toward that. What will we have left over for the Americans? Ahh.. But I'm sorry we are saints, I forgot. My mother and father cant have a dental plan with their medical insurance.. and they worked for this country many years... But the case on the news is different... SPECIAL.
