[NYC-L] look what this guy has to say about us

[SimonVukel at aol.com]

To be honest, I didn't find a whole lot in this article too offensive.  While 
the guy writes a but flippantly, his premise is that we Americans should not 
take our freedom for granted, because there are millions out there who would 
do anything and everything just to come to the United States and live in a 
land of freedom and opportunity.  It is a lesson that Albanian immigrants and 
children of immigrants know very well.  And hopefully this will be the lesson 
that gets learned in the whole Elian Gonzalez mess as well.

As for the writer's harsh coments about Albania, he was right on the mark, 
and we better get used to such criticism.  Albania is a mess (but it can be 
fixed!)  Until we as Albanians are willing to admit the mistakes that 
Albanians themselves have made, Albania will never progress.  It's time to 
stop blaming others for everything that ails the Albanian nation.   When one 
gets to the bottom of it, Albania's problems are of its own making, and 
Albania's advancement can only come through its own hard work and 
perseverance.
