From a Romanian Newspaper (after 9/11/01)

We rarely get a chance to see another country's editorial about the USA .

Read this excerpt from a Romanian Newspaper. The article was written by Mr. Cornel Nistorescu and published under the title 'C'ntarea Americii, meaning 'Ode To America ') in the Romanian newspaper Evenimentulzilei 'The Daily Event' or 'News of the Day'

~An Ode to America ~

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.

On 9/ll, the American tragedy turned three hundred million people into a hand put on the heart. Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the Army, or the Secret Service that they are only a bunch of losers. Nobody rushed to empty their bank accounts. Nobody rushed out onto the streets nearby to gape about.

Instead 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: '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 Californian hockey player, who gave his life fighting with the terrorists and prevented the plane from hitting a target that could have killed other hundreds 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 into collection aimed at rewarding not a man or a family, but a spirit, which no money can buy. What on earth can unites the Americans in such way? Their land? Their 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, I reached but only one conclusion... Only freedom can work such miracles.

I got the above article from one of my friends by email! I said, hummmm it is make sense. I have nothing to add more as the man said it all.

I never think the history will be written itself that African-American man (OK I should say half white and half black), is going to be the President of United States but it's happening because of freedom!

For the moment I have a hard time to see that "A Shan Man or a Karan Man or Wa Man or Mong Man is going to be the Prime Minister of Burma!!"

As many times I said, no matter how much you work hard in some countries there will be no reward but most of the Burmese who come to USA they live in the good house and drive the nice car within 8 to 10 years just by rolling Shusi. I have seen it with my own eye balls!!

There will be some flaws in every real Ruby or Diamond but I will rate the USA as a diamond with "D" colour and IF (Internally Flawless, OK I did not say FI, Flawless so please see the different!).

I can only say, "God Bless America and other countries too". I love you my "America!!" Here this is what I feel, I love you America and I miss you my Shan State!!

By the way accidentally my Transplant Doctor who I like him very much and I become "Americans" the same day!! Is that neat?? May be the only history in Transplant World too!! I really think we both should be in the Opral's or Larry King's show........

Well eveything can be happened in USA shows.
