I was too young when 11 september produced, and i can say you that the shook was very big in France too! Medias make reports about this 24h/24 during a week, and after, during 2 mounth, they talk about this evenment everyday on TV! I was very young and i was shoked too, it's so easy to say "we are misunderstood!" because it's wrong! I remember that in France too nivel of security alert was at the maximum, that Army make patrols in city as in america!
If others countrys didn't understand this big shock, why United Kingdom, France, canada, Germany, Italia, Polish, spain, Australia, croatia, Turkey too, and a lot of others country are going in war with you ?
11 september is a big incident, but it should not be a "tool" who kill debate.
So i think that maybe everybody here is camping in his position, but if after somebody here go with a little more mutual understanding than before, it's a good point! =)
