Because all the world is an American.

The Japanese are Americans.

The Siamese are Americans.

The Germans, the Israelis, the Palestinians.

The Persians...and the Afghans, too....

Why does America reign? Because as an ideal�as a dream�it is one of the most beautiful devised by man�even if, to my constant distress, she does not always live up to that ideal.

More to come�.
