I agree..it's very supportive and healing when our friends from around the world reach out and lend us their support and strengh in such a time. We have to face it that yes, the US is seen as a bully and self appointed police to the rest of the world and it would be just as easy for other nations to just say 'you had it coming, yankee bastards', OUR job is to reach out and accept the rest of the world, as it really is a pretty small place and we are all not that much different from one another. I think THAT is the lesson of 9/11 and that it would be a waste if we didn't learn from it.
