I’ve got the goose bumps reading this great news: Canada will allow Iraq’s best-known war victim to visit this country and decide whether he wants to stay for good. — Little Ali can come as visitor, then seek refugee status and a Canadian family is willing to adopt him if he wants to stay. I wish I could adopt him, and take away the pain after having lost not only parts of his body, but his entire family as well.

Way to go Canada! Let’s hope for more countries to follow the example and show mercy with other victims of this unfair and dirty war, starting by the aggressor… ahem! It seems there’s some debate about who’s going to take care of the boy, especially by celebrities. [Link via Kim]
