Everyone probably knows that Le Monde's publisher Jean-Marie Colombani, wrote we are all Americans but not everyone knows that on that day Colombani also said that the attacks were cause of the US cynism and also said that Bin Laden was created by US intelligence.

By December of 2001 he criticized the US war against the Taliban and said that the US wasn't fit to reform the mideast unless it reformed itself

That was the most famous experession of sympathy and in fact it wasn't anything much


How are sympathy for a terrible act and truthfulness about how it is handled and why it happened incompatible? It was due to blowback to a degree. The war in Afghanistan HAS been mishandled. The war in raq HAS been mishandled. And bin Ladin WAS partly the creation of the CIA.

Truth bothers you?

The concept of truth escapes you.

Your opinions are not truth.

If Americans want to bang on about the rights of 'free speech' then they really have to respect views that differ from their own.

Lots of people all over the world (never mind Europe) thought the same as the Danish broadcaster when it happened.

I know it is a shock that the man who said it is blond and blue eyed an not some bearded raving mullah with a tea towel wrapped around his head but because you think Tony Blair spoke on behalf of our nation that we
support everything he said on 9/11/the invasion of Iraq then you have another think coming.

Sure I respect his right to free speech however it is just more evidence that only the US will look out for the US.

Thank you .

That the US had the sympathy of the world after 9-11 was a myth.

Absolutley spot on.

Individuals who worked in the trade centre and rescue workers got sympathy and prayers I'm sure. Did America as a nation get sympathy? Not from my vantage point, no.

If the plane had wiped out the pentagon, not many people would have shed many tears.

Somalia - the country where you were sent packing after six months. And I think the forces of Pakistan, Italy, Australia etc might want some recogniton also.

Indonesia - Their political reforms had nothing to do with themselves I take it.
