Thread: To Kill An American; Here, Here

This is without a doubt the best its ever been put! Lets here it for Americans!

Written by an Australian Dentist...


To Kill an American,

You probably 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 an editorial the following day to let
everyone know what an American is . so they would know when they found
one. (Good one, 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 Comanche, 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.
he 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, never asking a thing in
return.

When Afghanistan was over-run 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 of
everything...the best products, the best books, the best music, the best
food, the best services. 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. It's been told that
the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different
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 other blood-thirsty
tyrants in 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.

....and holding up to that spirit for all goodness shared, one doesn't need to live, work or breathe the air between the states of North America to behold the American Spirit...count me in ALWAYS brother, perhaps that green card you are waving there is best served by giving it to that Paki-bloke before he gets blown up by friendly fire for being mistaken as a terrorist!

YB.

Beautiful! It's nice to know that the world is still behind us and ready to rally against these heathens if necessary.

Outstanding post Gator,

Thanks for bringing out those facts again, as I am one of those American Mutts with a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, as are some of my best friends. In fact, I don't know of one person I have met who is all American? (g)

Good luck to all, Mike

Gator,

Nice post because it says what we all know is true, yet as many Americans try to be empathetic, we forget our core and strengths, That was well aid.
