	A Letter from America
		All of this is very positive, especially when it is set against the incredible beauty of America's natural spaces, a landscape that is still more wild than cultivated, and despite the urban sprawl of certain cities a lot less built up than Europe.
		It was not surprising, therefore, that in an unprecedented period of U.S. boom, terrorists struck at America in such a devastating way as we all witnessed on September 11, 2001.
		There is a wonderful coming together of the American people as they face the current crisis, but there is also a blind patriotism that stands behind our leaders without question, making it hard for the true patriot to raise his or her voice.

	Letter to America
		Your America is reactivating its nuclear weapons program, now what message is that sending to the rest of the world?
		It is not my intention to list every thing that makes me angry about what your government is doing in your name, but I cannot conclude this letter if I did not mention the event that polarized and in many cases united us all.
		September 11th was a moment in time that changed our world, it was for you a wake up call to what your government has been doing in your name, and the consequence of those actions.

	Iraqi Letters
		America was an ardent supporter in the 1980’s while he was fighting Iran… and killing Iraqis.
		These are totems which America holds as "evil." If someone says the word "dictator" in reference to a country, the American people instantly believe they are warmongering, power hungry, depraved men who torture others for their own amusement.
		Why would America, the superpower of the world, go to such lengths and incur so much loss of blood and money to damage Iraq, a comparatively small country that was never a threat and was never likely to be one.

	Letter from America
		I have viewed the Letter from America as a bit of a folly.
		This is a Letter from America, not a "Letter from Oxford." I do not always know what I am talking about - but I usually make people think, which is the idea.
		These Letters from America, therefore, are meant to show different ways of thinking and to provoke thought among the readers.

	Letter to America
		We begin with a letter to an American friend written by the South African writer Breyten Breytenbach, whose opposition to apartheid resulted in his spending seven years in prison.
		This is an extraordinarily difficult letter to write, and it may even be a perilous exercise.
		So, talking to America is like dealing with a very aggressive beast: One must do so softly, not make any brusque moves or run off at the mouth if you wish to survive.

		America has the greatest military machine ever constructed, maintained with an obscene budget that dwarfs the annual GDP of many countries.
		It's fair to say that no country, or even coalition of countries, could engage America in battle and expect to emerge victorious, or even alive.
		The only people who can stop America from moulding the World to meet its own needs, are the people of America.

		In America, you captured thousands the Muslims and Arabs, took them into custody with neither reason, court trial, nor even disclosing their names.

	Letter to America - The healing, British analysis of America's unique sexual problems
		Emotionally-compromised in every facet of individual and collective expression, the American people are trapped in a neurotic, rage-ridden syndrome of intimate disharmony, sexual paralysis, deceit, fear, conflict and manipulation without parallel in the history of the planet.
		Psychologically speaking, America is a boil which urgently needs to be lanced, and in dire need of a large-scale, action-oriented, therapeutic intervention.
		Stringing together a bewildering spectrum of seemingly unconnected factors he skilfully interprets the sexually-repressive significance of everything from skyscrapers, blondes, guns, gangs, acting 'big and tough' and overt materialism to feminism, stretch-limos, rap, slang, entertainment, lawyers, talk shows, the cult of celebrity and even Barbie dolls.

		And in the seventh-inning stretch when this nation sings God Bless America, we do so because we can, because in this country men and woman have died so that we can continue on as a free nation, and we will be thinking of you then also.
		And it's my belief that if you watch close enough you will see players, many players in fact, trying in some small way to say thank you, and that we won't forget you or your loved ones as some of us will have messages scrawled somewhere on our hats or uniforms that you can read.
		To those out there that serve in the military, and to those with children serving in the military, I offer my sincerest thanks, and our prayers are with you and yours in the days and weeks to come.

	Open Letter to America by Ann Blewett
		We are changed people now as a result of the chilling and surreal events of Tuesday, September 11th, 2001.
		The very heart of America was attacked; the twin towers of the World Trade Center symbolizing economic wealth and power, distinctly defining and enhancing the skyline of lower Manhattan; and the Pentagon in Washington, the icon of military might.
		September 11th, 2001, truly a day of unbridled and depraved infamy, the world as we know it will never be the same again.

		The English find America a very perplexing place; we arrive in the US expecting a kind of value-added United Kingdom, basically the same country, only far larger, richer and clothed with a different accent.
		At first we’re not disappointed we can understand the customs official at the airport, decipher menus at restaurants and, as we expected, America is far larger and richer than Great Britain.
		In realizing this, it falls to the Anglo-Catholic to proclaim the Faith militantly, to assert for Anglicanism in North America her rightful heritage as part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church founded by Christ.

	Letter From America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In the United States, a country with a Jewish population the size of Israel’s, nothing surprises me. Recent years have produced a culture of extremes, in which it has become as fashionable for non-Jews to claim to be Jewish or at least of Jewish descent, as it is for Jews to intermarry and assimilate.
		Under international law, among neighboring states, the aggressor nation who invades or attempts to invade its neighbor incurs certain risks for this unlawful action; primarily, should the aggressor lose the conflict that it started its neighbor (here Israel) may keep certain territories as both a buffer zone and as a deterrent from future attack.
		Perhaps you wish to revise history to suit your preconceived biases against Israel because she is a predominantly Jewish state-- that makes you no better than the Islamic savages who have declared war against America.

		Eventually he succeeded, and 'Letter from America' is now the longest running radio broadcast in human history.
