Are you saying that Canadians are not Americans? That Mexicans are not
Americans? Than Panamanians are not Americans? That Chileans are not
Americans? That Mayans are not Americans? That the Iroquois are not
Americans?

I am not asking if you would call them that in common usage, since few
people in the USA refer to President Bush as an American, but instead as
a Texan. I am asking if a Canadian told you that he was also an American
(even though he was not from the USA, and had never been in the USA, and
exactly none of his ancestors were from or ever in the USA) would you
argue with him and claim that he was wrong?

That is what I want to know.
