Interesting.

My thoughts on the title, wither you are an American or not.  Ask Colin
Powell what he is (people have) he does not reply Afro-American.....he says
American.

Either you are an American or an Afghan.  Maybe an American with Afghan
heritage.  EVERYONE that lives in America is from a family that immigrated
here at one point in time.............some by choice, and some not by their
own free will...........but the fact remains that the price ancestors paid
is our reward today...........by being a legal American citizen.
