You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. The options as I see them are.
1. Bring him to the U.S. - in this case you must consider that
- It's likely he has a large family, even many extended family relatives.
- It will be extremely hard for people who foraged for food to survive in our country.
- The culture shock would be phenominal and long lasting.
- The Language barrier would be immense. If he had to use sign to explain he wanted to help he likely has NO knowledge of the English language.
- It's very possible that he cannot read in his own language let alone in English.
2. Leave him in his village.
- Most likely, unless the U.S. military disrupts another status quo in that country, this man will be dead within a year.
3. Let him work on the base.
- Well for now it may be more secure but what about when the U.S. leaves?
4. Throw lots of Money at him.
- Al Qaeda or those claiming to be insurgents, steal it from him.
- He doesn't know the value of it and it will be gone in less than a year.
It's like trying to make a fish walk. You take it out of it's natural element and you're in trouble. I realize he probably didn't comprehend the amount of antagonism that he would receive but it's possible that if he was sympthetic to the U.S. before he may have clashed with a few people before on the subject. Something doesn't seem completely valid about this whole situation.
