Of course he is amazing...he's from Mississippi. :)
As you can tell I grew up in Mississippi. I wonder if he has a Southern accent.
What an accomplishment for such a young person. There was a similar thing that happened when a girl from the U.S. went to visit the Soviet Union. Now I remember (thanks to the Internet), it was an 11 year-old girl from Maine called Samantha Smith. This was back in 1983. Six years later, the Cold War ended and the Berlin Wall fell.

Here's more information on Samantha Smith via Wikipedia. She really was truly loved by the Soviet/Russian people.

The people of Russia remember her more fondly than the U.S. does.
