More urban legends about the Current Situation. Canadian broadcaster Gordon Sinclair penned a stirring editorial in support of America that circulated widely yesterday. The problem is, he wrote it in 1973, about the Vietnam war.

This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth.

Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.
