Well... I guess thats one way to see the world.
That kid would have been a terrorist-kidnappers wet dream. Pure nievety. Pure Stupidity. Pure dumb luck on still being alive.
The kid gets turned away from the Kuwait/Iraq border, realizes he's lucky to be alive, gets sent to Lebanon, and THEN decides that he hasn't pushed his luck enough, and flies to Baghdad.
Wholey Sheet, Batman! Dumb little sh1t better play the lottery because he'll never be luckier than he is right now. Wow!
