Winner of the Week

Sami Osmakac, a naturalized US citizen who was born in Kosovo, on living the good life, American-style:
Osmakac, from Pinellas County, allegedly told an undercover agent that “We all have to die, so why not die the Islamic way?’” according to a federal complaint.
A lethal melange of car bombs, explosive vests and AK-47s was Osmakac’s interpretation of “the Islamic way”, and who am I to doubt him?
(I don’t want to judge before all of the facts are in, but it at least appears that the naturalization process didn’t quite hit all the high points of citizenship, in this case.)
Kosovo, many of you will remember, was a largely Muslim enclave within the former Yugoslavian Republic which was essentially saved from ethnic cleansing by a US-led NATO intervention.
So, there’s gratitude for you, twice served.
