yay americans!!!!
How to spot an American:
You probably missed it in the rush of news recently, 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:
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 manyother 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 is from 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 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 Afghanistan was overrun by the Soviet army 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.
Thank you!
