I'm so happy and proud of Team USA for voting Lopez Lomong to be the flag bearer in the opening ceremony that I have to blog about it one more time. Great to see the team - and by extension our nation - make such a profound and poignant statement. I hope Lomong's story inspires others during the Games.
Even without China's involvement in Sudan, the vote for Lomong would still be a moving one. I'm obviously biased, but nothing is more American - other than speaking out, of course - than the immigrant success story.
Now if we can only get Joey Cheek into China. And to show the influence this blog has, President Bush did call on China to offer my fellow Tar Heel a visa.
