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 Hawaiian, 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 et 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 A merica .

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 tha t 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.
