> Why are Americans so united? They would not resemble one
>another even if you painted them all one color! They speak all the

> Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the army, or the

> After the first moments of panic, they raised their flag over
>the smoking ruins, putting on T-shirts, caps and ties in the colors of the
>national flag. They placed flags on buildings and cars as if in every

> On every occasion, they started singing: "God Bless America!"
> I watched the live broadcast and rerun after rerun for hours listening to

As Associated Press reported about Mr. Nistorescu:


Nistorescu, managing director of the daily newspaper Evenimentul Zilei ? News of the Day ? published his editorial Sept 24, two days after watching a celebrity telethon in New York for victims of the attacks . . .
Like his other columns, "Ode to America" was meant for domestic consumption. No one knows when ? or how ? the article first reached the other side of the Atlantic. But Nistorescu figures it began when someone pulled it off the English-language version of his daily's Web page and sent it to a friend.

Since then, thousands of Americans at home and expats around the world have e-mailed it to friends, saying it captured their nation's spirit. It has been read out to U.S. soldiers and on radio talk shows and posted on U.S. Web sites.

Nistorescu says he had no idea his "Ode to America" would resonate so far away . . .

Nistorescu remains surprised and touched by the success of the piece, one of thousands he has penned in a more than 20-year career.

"It is all about the American spirit and how freedom cannot be crushed," he says.
