However, as responsible parents, we're also supposed to be aware of what our kids are doing. There were a number of red flags that he was getting involved with extremism, which they blatantly ignored. I'm sure time will bear out that he was a member of the Al Qaeda network, and not just some Taliban fighter. What really burns me up is not the fact he was fighting against U.S. forces, but that he supported the Sep. 11 attacks and the regime that enacted such atrocities against women. In my eyes, he is a monster, and should be stripped of his citizenship. He should never be allowed to set foot on U.S. soil again.
