As an American taxpayer, I'm proud to see my tax $$$$ at work .

God bless those who're doing a good cause and the miners.

Get well soon, guys.

... a contractor from Denver, Colorado, was called from Afghanistan, where he was helping American forces find water, ...

Why the American forces looking for water in Afghanistan?

Why are some Americans so desperate that they need involve themselves in the triumphs of others?

[PhilHarries]

^ very few triumphs are that of a single person. In nearly all cases there is a team working on problems like this thus the triumph is of the team. These days everyone just loves to criticise America but never accept, nor recognise, the good that the American people do worldwide.

Because Americans like to think that the world wouldnt turn unless they were involved.

I stand to be corrected but the "US miner" inverviewed on CNN yesterday sounded like he was a Canadian !!!

The tone of this piece is very similar to the tone of the Nation article about the two thai guys involved
