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 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 inthe 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.

It's good, at least for me, to get a reminder of this once in a while.

Nope, have to disagree. Couldn't be from an Aussie , too long. we just think most of the yanks are good blokes.

lol @ Mychael, don't be spreading rumors we're good ppl, then other countries will want stuff from us.

I always say, "I'm kind, sweet, and lovable ... and I'll kill anyone that says different!"

I thought Aussie dentists were no different than American dentists. I think they take a course on "verbosity" because most of the dentists I have used wouldn't shut up!

Talk, talk, talk... while they're drilling holes in your mouth and the nitrous oxide is getting you numb along with the novacaine.

Of course now that I've done my nice bit be warned that in true Aussie fashion I shall forever after "take the piss" out of the yanks. lol

We can start with they make lousey cars, drive on the wrong side of the road and most Yanks could not even find Australia on a map.

How can you miss Australia on a map? You look between the Chinese and the Kiwi's and it's the huge land mass shaped like a duck landing in the South Pacific!

You'd be surprised. One of our current affair TV programs did a survey of the average American in the street with questions about Oz. You'd be amazed at some of the answers.. Mind you they did seem to be asking a lot of people in overalls called "Billy Bob".. hahah

Yeah, unfortunately we have a lot of those here in the States, especially in the South!
