How to kill an American

Written by an Australian Dentist....
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 ofIndependence, 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. 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.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

If I may, I think it means that some Australians hold a very different opinion of Americans.

Piss him off is right but he's likely to buy a bigger SUV or a Hummer.

Glad to see you finally got the hang of this festering sewer. No matter what you say, somewhere, someplace, somebody is going to take offense at something you say. Beauty, eh?

I've been to Australia (Perth and Brisbane) and I've been to Europe. One country is filled with beer swilling drunks and the other with snobs.
I'll take the USA anyday over those countries!

hehehe whats the occasion Hap????
I couldn't resist!!! ree
Oh and at the great sacrifices my family takes I surely damn do take offense to someone who reaps the benefits of an American message board who as I quote says "its not the opinion of every Austrailian" when someone says something nice about Americans. The Aussies that I know love America... as we do them..... ree

Relax, Ree. I wasn't giving offence nor taking it, merely pointing out that not everyone in the world is of the opinion that America is the centre of the universe.
(Except for Texas, of course.)

Kraft-Australia makes it. Why Kraft dosn't market in the US is beyond me. It's tasty on pumpernickle w/ butter.

Or a goodly teaspoon of it in a mug of boiling water - great on a cold morning. Mind you, it horrifies a lot of people visiting Oz.
