Yea! I'm an American!
To Kill an American
You may have missed it in the rush of news last week, but there
was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a
newspaper an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American,
any American.
So an Australian dentist wrote the following to let everyone know
what an American is... so they would know when they found one.
(Good on ya, mate!!!!)
An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German,
Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek.
An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian,
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or
Pakistani, or Afghan.
An American may also be a Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho,
Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native
Americans.
An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or
Muslim.
In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan. The
only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each
of them chooses.
An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he
will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs
claiming to speak for the government and for God.
An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the
world.
The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of
Independence, which recognizes the God given right of each person
to the pursuit of happiness.
An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every
other nation in the world in their time of need.
When the Soviet army overran Afghanistan 20 years ago, Americans
came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their
country!
As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than
any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan.
Americans welcome the best, the best products, the best books, the
best music, the best food, the best athletes. But they also welcome
the! least!
The national symbol of America, The Statue of Liberty, welcomes
your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming
shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people
who built America.
Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of
September 11, 2001 earning a better life for their families. I've
been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30
other countries, cultures, and first languages, including those
that aided and abetted the terrorists.
So you can try to kill an American if you must.
Hitler did.
So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and every
bloodthirsty tyrant in the history of the world.
But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself. Because
Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They
are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who
holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American.
