"I'm thankful for my American passport"

A very interesting inference can be made out of your observation. That Americans are welcomed happily at most places abroad speaks much about the warmth, hospitality and genuine, uncorrupted humanity of the people of (most) other countries (reversely, all this country seems to project outwards these days is paranoia, self-interest and general apathy). Your freedom to travel the world as you please is really thanks to those others than to the fact that you were born an American. It is so heartening to read the travel reports of Americans having a great time in countries we so carelessly label as "enemy".

Some food for thought this Thanksgiving!
