Just so some of you don't get my attitudes against the Bush regime and the way the Iraq war was started as anything else:
I appreciate that your Founding Fathers inspired our own Constitutional Fathers at Eidsvoll in 1814.
I appreciate that you with open arms received Norwegian emigrants who wanted to create better lives for themselves.
I appreciate that you were our allies against nazism and fascism during World War II, and contributed to democracy in Japan and Germany.
I appreciate that you contributed to re-build our country after World War II, through the Marshall plan.
I appreciate that you took the threat from Communism seriously and contributed to increased freedom and stability among our neighbours in the East.
I appreciate that you helped us discover and develop oil fields in the North Sea.
I appreciate all the marvellous American creations within painted art, literature, music and movies.
I appreciate all the amazing American innovations within science, technology, medicine and business.
I'm proud of the friendship between Norway and the USA, and I hereby wish to contribute to its strengthening.
The End
