A Small Wish Posted by Heather Hurlburt

That for every article, blog and radio hate-show reference we hear to the "foreignness" of the Blacksburg shooter (though he seems to have been here 15 years) we have another piece about Livian Librescu, a "foreign" professor who seems to have stayed behind to block his classroom door as his students fled, giving his own life but saving, if I read right, all his students. 

So is the "foreign" shot through the very best and very worst of our national life in the 21st century.  Maybe for once we could avoid easy cliches about it.
