Americans Offers Condolences To Britain, To Londoners, To Good
By Rev Michael Bresciani, Fri Dec 9th
Over two centuries have passed since Americans and Britishraised their guns toward each other in war. We drove the RedCoats out of our land but we kept them in our hearts in manyways. After all, surpassing the Irish, French and Italians, thelargest group of immigrants in this country is still theBritish. Our ancestry could not be extricated from Great Britainany more than the Sun could be disassociated from the morning. With dignity you finally recognized that a new country was beingbirthed. We joined in trade and commerce and later in war,fighting common enemies and working toward common causes. Fromthe trenches of the Great War to the Second World War we foughtand died, side by side, as friends and for some as brothers. Atthis moment you stand with us in places throughout the worldwhere people are struggling to be relieved of oppression,dictators, and economic woes. As Americans we are seen as the klutzes of the world thearrogant and unsophisticated country bumpkins that think peopleshould not beat up the innocent, the unarmed and the oppressed.Perhaps we are a bit unsophisticated but as our friends you havesweetened the pot a bit. We borrow from your dignity all thetime. We borrow from a long list of noble kings and queens. Weborrow from Shakespeare, Churchill and Diana and yes, Mr. Blair.Yet perhaps we are not borrowing at all, maybe we are justcarrying on with civilized actions
and higher causes that yougave us from the start.
Since the attack on our citizens on 9-11 we have in part atleast been softened to the sufferings of others. From far acrossthe pond we can feel your sorrow and grief. We honor those whowere lost and wounded in your underground and send ourcondolences to them and their surviving families. By now any American would expect that our President has alreadyoffered his condolences to your Prime Minister as is fitting indiplomat protocols. Please allow one small man from the rank andfile of our nation to offer the same condolences. I am sure thatmillions of Americans with little dissent are standing with mein this offering. There would not be enough time left in mylifetime to ask each American for their permission to offertheir condolences along with mine. I am also sure that I wouldnot have enough time left to offer each one an apology for notdoing so. God bless you good friends in your great sorrow.
