Well, the only version I ever got in my mail was the version saying I
recalled it, so I thought I could. Guess not

You can't recall a message posted to a list.

BTW, this is the most action I've seen on this list for a long time...at
least I know you guys are still out there!

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!
