First of all, I don’t see what is Dr. Yunus’s fault besides getting the Nobel Prize. It was given to him. He survived without it for 27 years and I am sure he would have survived rest of his life. He is not preaching hatred, and he is not selling cracks. He is simply trying to help the poor. That is exactly what the prize is intended for. And he did not ask for the Nobel Prize, it was given to him by the Nobel Prize committee who happens to be Swiss. And for the kid’s information, Switzerland is not a US state. People said bad things about Mother Teresa as well. And is it because they both were helping the poor people? Is there an issue helping the Poor’s?

I must disagree with the reader who said that by wearing traditional dresses he was disrespecting the country he was visiting and the audiences. This is one lame argument. I am positive that he did not fly thousands of miles and come here to disrespect the audiences of the Daily Show. If the “world norm” and the “just thing to do” were to ware the traditional dresses of the land you are visiting then people had to ware Chinese dresses when they visit Chinese territory a and Indian dresses when they visit the sub continent and ware Native American dresses when visiting the America’s.

I am pretty sure that lot’s of Kids also watch Daily Show because they think it is cool. Which is fine, but we must remember that kids are immature and they make all kinds of comments. The best policy is to simply ignore them. There is a saying in Bangladesh, “A dog may bite you but you don’t bite back a dog”.
