Dear Amos...Thanks very much for posting this. I have friends in London, Corsica, Paris, Prague, Australia and New Zealand and they all say about the same things as the anonymous author....the US is a great nation, with many, many fine attributes, some of which are fairly unique in the world, but, perhaps understandably, surprisingly insular in important ways.

I was touched by this letter, coming from far away in miles but so close in spirit. Thanks again for posting....
