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.
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.
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.
