Moiraine, we will also observe the three minutes silence in the Netherlands. I think I can safely say the people of Europe deeply sympathise and are just as shocked as the Americans. I have said this before: for Americans, who as a whole are a lot more nationalistic (or patriotist, whatever you want to call it)than us, it may be hard to imagine that people from another country can feel such empathy. Since the horrors of the 11th September, I've heard several Americans say that we can never understand because we're not American. But Europeans, for the most part, are different from you. As well as feeling very Dutch, French, German or whatever, we also think of ourselves as global citizens, and it matters less to us where something happened. Be assured that we understand the immense shock, outrage, despair and vengefullness that most of you feel right now, and deeply and sincerely care!!
