An Australian dentist wrote an editorial to let everyone know what an American is.

”An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Romanian, Russian or Greek.

An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, Hungarian, Serbo-Croatian, 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 tribes known as native Americans.

An American is Christian, or he could be Buddhist, or Jewish, 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 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 pursuit of happiness.

….Because Americans are not a particular people for a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom, everyone who holds to that spirit of freedom, everyone who holds to that spirit , everywhere, is an American.”
