To kill an American

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 inAfghanistan.
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.

This piece isn't such a case. The "What is an American?" article quoted above was not penned by an Australian (or a dentist), but by Peter Ferrara, an associate professor of law at the George Mason University School of Law in Northern Virginia. Mr. Ferrara's commentary was originally published in the National Review on 25 September 2001.

So he is a little off. Still old as crap though.
 
Origins: As the reaction to pieces from a Canadian broadcaster and a Romanian journalist demonstrate, Americans take great delight in encomiums to America and Americans authored by citizens of other nations.

Im just saying this country was based on slavery and war.
America is no different from that article. I'v met countless people who just want to see middle east die and tourtured. Works both ways.

Then you were asleep when the class actually discussed WHY the first settlers crossed the Atlantic. It was not about war or slavery, but about religious freedom.
Your current home, Canada, actually was a result of a WAR that forced the inhabitants to choose between another monarchy's attempts to take over what was then a vast wilderness, and their feelings of autonomy from such influences.

Nice try though.

No the difference is that the USA had hundreds of thousands of people step up and die to end slavery.

NO, we will continue to change the subject back to the original point which is to say, America, for all it's faults, does more good than given credit for.
I wonder where you might be if the Iron Curtain wasn't reduced to rubble.
Certainly not in any place where speaking out against the "Establishment" would be tolerated.
Oh yeah and in conclusion, if YOU are not part of a solution, you're part of the problem.
Nihlism is only cool in literature and movies.

Id probably be still Canada. Where would you be?

Point im trying to send across here is, americans aren't exactly angels. Can you understand that? More than half of the world does.
Even canada is starting to hate you, So much political arguments between the governments. Yea.
