Proud to Have Been an American
Ron Dermer was an American citizen—until the State Department made him renounce his citizenship. His patriotic response is worth reading. But Dermer is too polite to raise the larger issue: Why is the State Department telling foreign governments that it cannot appoint Americans to high-level posts at its embassies, unless they give up their U.S. passports? The U.S. government has long allowed dual citizenship with Israel, Ireland and a few other nations.Why can't diplomats be dual citizens too?
