To Kill An American

GOOD FOR THE AUSSIES, PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!


To Kill An American :eek7:

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 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.

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.


it was originally written by an American law professor and published in the National Review shortly after 9-11, I believe. The Aussie dentist story got circulated on the 'net. Parts of it have also been edited or added to during circulation, but that doesn't diminish the overall spirit of the commentary.

That was purely outstanding. First time I've seen it. Kudos to the writer.

More as in percentage or more as in numbers? Because 99% of Afghans are muslims....but less populated than America so naturally they are outnumbered



Anyways, that is a beautiful speech, kudos to the writer....now if only those terrorist fucks can read english :lol:

great read!

terrific points, however he is missing one thing:

americans are proud to be americans. they are ready and willing to do their part to defend what they feel this country stands for against all odds, and all enemies, and on all fronts. and the even cooler part is, they never have to fight that fight alone

Right on.

Wish we could get a few Americans into the government :D

It's nice to read something that actually doesn't trash American's. It seems like America bashing has become the worlds favorite sport these days.

In my experience, 99% of what I've seen that could be called 'Anti-American' usually goes along the lines of "I love Americans, but I hate your government," though there are plenty of morons (and MORANS) out there...

:werd:


That is all.
