To Kill an American
You probably missed this in the rush of news, 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 i n 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, 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 .
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.
Please keep this going!
Pass this around the World .
Then pass it around again. It says it all, for all of us
Please do not just delete.
Pass it on first.
Thanks!
Dwight D. Sayer
National President,
The National Association of Blind Veterans
A Division of the NFB
