The America here is very authentic,
Christian, patriotic, simple. I saw a sign, in
response to the war on terror, saying:"Shoot 'em all. Let
God sort them out. God bless America.
We've met some lovely friendly folk like the fellow
that told me, upon discovering that I was from Israel,
that the American people and Israel "stand united"
because we are both the people of the book. He was out
in the middle of nowhere, literally, but he knew all
about Israel and about currents of criticism within
the US against it. He would have none of that: "the
day we turn our back on Israel is the day we stop
being what we are. That's what I tell everyone." I
told him that his sentiments were very meaningful to
us.
