This newspaper gets accused – on just about a daily basis – of taking every opportunity to show the county in a poor light.
We always focus on the negative, our critics constantly carp.
We easily could have done that today. Some people are actually talking about “sabotage” being involved in the problems found in a couple of Chinook helicopters being produced at Boeing’s Ridley plant.
Someone tried to mail 26 giant beetles into the country. It’s like something out of a science fiction saga. They were intercepted by postal inspectors out near Reading.
Hell, Brett Myers even rolled out another clunker last night. And the Flyers are on the brink of being swept out of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
None of them adorn the lead position on our front page today. Instead staffer John Roman offers the inspiring tale of Mohammed Kareem Moh Alshehabi.
I won’t ruin the story for you, save to say it involved a very sick little Iraqi boy, and some great people who banded together to help him out.
It’s an uplifting saga, and one I’m proud we featured on our front page today.
This country has more than our share of problems with Iraq. This story is not one of them. Instead, it just might be part of the solution.
