Topic: From: Date:	Khalid Khannouchi - Should he run for the USA? John Elliott 4/6/00 7:07:31 AM ET
The big news these days is Khalid Khannouchi - the World Record holder in the marathon. Trying to get citizenship, finding every loophole, needing the permission of the Moroccan Olympic Committee... What a hassle! Here's a man who for years has been trying to get US citizenship. He has worked to become the athlete that he is. It seems that if a fantastic athlete/role model tries as hard as Khannouchi has to become a member of your country - we should feel proud and welcome him with open arms. Isn't that what this melting-pot is supposed to be all about? Any other thoughts? Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
