I
agree. The US citizens go to the aid of the world. What does the rest of the
world do to aid US citizens? If it were not for the US, most of European
countries would no longer exist. After that, we can thank the US for the end of
the Cold War...

Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most
generous and possibly the least appreciated on all the earth.
Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were
lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of
dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries
is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United
States. When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the
Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and
swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.
When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that
hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American communities
were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped. The
Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars into
discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are
writing about the Decadent, warmongering Americans. I'd like to
see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the
United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country
in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed
Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them?
Why do all the international lines except Russia fly American
Planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or
woman on the moon? you talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get
radios. You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles.
You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon -
not once, but several times - and safely home again. You talk
about scandals, and the Americans put their right in the store window for
everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and
hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they
are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at
home to spend here. When the railway of France, Germany and India were
breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them.
When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke,
nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke. I
can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of the other
people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when
someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there
was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake. Our
neighbours have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired
of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing
with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb
their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles.
I hope Canada is NOT one of those. <FONT lang=0
