Read this excerpt from a Romanian Newspaper to get an objective view of what America is all about.

Why are Americans so united? They would not resemble one another even

if you painted them all one color! They speak all the languages of the

world and form an astonishing mixture of civilizations and religious

beliefs. Still, the American tragedy turned three hundred million people

into a hand put on the heart. Nobody rushed to accuse the White House,

the Army, and the Secret Service. Nobody rushed to empty their bank

accounts. Nobody rushed out onto the streets with fear. The Americans

volunteered to donate blood and to give a helping hand. After the first

moments of panic, they raised their flag over the smoking ruins,

putting on T-shirts, caps and ties in the colors of the national flag.

They placed flags on buildings and cars as if in every place and on

every car a government official or the president was passing. On every

occasion, they started singing their traditional song: “God Bless

America!” I watched the live broadcast and rerun after rerun for hours

listening to the story of the guy who went down one hundred floors with

a woman in a wheelchair without knowing who she was, or of the

California hockey player, who gave his life fighting with the

terrorists and prevented the plane from hitting a target that could have

killed other hundred or thousands of people. How on earth were they able

to respond united as one human being? Imperceptibly, with every word and

musical note, the memory of some turned into a modern myth of tragic

heroes. And with every phone call, millions and millions of dollars

were put in a collection aimed at rewarding not a man or a family, but a

spirit, which no money can buy. What on earth can unite the Americans

in such a way? Their land? Their galloping history? Their economic

Power? Money? I tried for hours to find an answer, humming songs and

murmuring phrases with the risk of sounding commonplace. I thought

things over, but I reached only one conclusion…Only freedom can work

such miracles.
