Did my recalled message get recalled before it got through? If you're
asking what's your point, then maybe I shouldn't have recalled that
message.

So what's your point??

Maybe we better not ask to many questions about what an American is or
some other truths may come up. There's a lot of opnions out there.

		Subject: To Kill An American

		In response to an ad in a Pakistan newspaper:

		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 wrot e an editorial the
following day to let
		everyone
		know what an American is ... so they would know when
they found one. (Good
		one, mate!!!!)

		1. An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish,
German, Spanish,
		Polish, Russian or Greek, or a Dane, Swede, a Norwegian,
a Finn.
		An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African,
Islander or
		Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian,
Asian, or Arab, or
		Pakistani or Afghan.

		2. An American may also be a Comanche, Cher okee, Osage,
Blackfoot, Navaho,
		Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known
as native Americans.

		3. An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or
Buddhist, or Muslim.

		4. 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.

		5. 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.
		6. An American lives in the most prosperous land in the
history of the
		world.

		7. 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.

		8. 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.
		< br>9. 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!

		10. 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.

		11. The nationa l symbol of America, The Statue of
Liberty, welcomes your
		tired
		and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming
shores, the homeless,
		tempest tossed.

		12. These in fact are the people who built America.

		13. 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
		14. at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first
languages,
		including
		those that aided and abetted the terrorists.

		15. So you can try to kill an American if you must.
Hitler did.

		16. 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!
