I have no doubt in my mind, that this letter is based on fact. Thanks Dan, for sharing it with us. As an European, I would say its "typically American" in its mixture of wry humour, directness, single- mindedness of purpose and matter of fact pragmatism. These are traits which seem to come out most stongest in your nation in times of duress! Without that, we here in Europe would all be under the boots of the Nazis, or red or dead! I keep on telling this to my intellectual friends, who feel, that you should turn the other cheek and best not go to fight at all, rather negotiate peacefully and remedy your mistakes in middle east policy, so they could go on living their complacent lives, which they certainly would not have had without the sacrifices America has brought in the last century and is still preparing to bring, to ensure freedom for us all. So, a thankyou from Europe for taking the stand, that you do and God bless you all and your great country!
