Bull, massive out pouring of support.

[SampleMan]

Huh? Were you awake on 9/12?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

You must remember we we in shock after 9/11. Social media had not evolved to where it is now. I spent my time on FreeRepublic. Everyone had their own little corner of the internet to go for news and comfort. We still have our corners, but the world can and does gather on FB or Twitter in a heartbeat.

Sadly, terrorist attacks today are alot of things, but a surprise? Not so much. It is a matter of where and when. ‘If’ is not a factor. 9/11 was akin to Pearl Harbor-out of the blue on a beautiful mornimg. Paris was yet another despicable act and it won’t be the last one.

A Navy Salute from Germany

This is just one example. There were displays across the world, and frankly any display to France today is really just part of a tradition that started on 9/12/2001, when people of many nations saluted the US.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

You’re a complete fool

[Organic Panic]

You are mistaken. I remember a world wide outpouring of support and sympathy.

Sadly, the first to jump ship and show their true colors were the American democrats.

[RitaOK]

A truly JUNK source.

Paris hung banners from the Eifel Tower, “WE WILL NEVER FORGET”, in French on one vertical beam and in English on the other, both sides of the tower to see it while coming and in going.

[ought-six]

Are you daft? The outpouring of sympathy and support from around the world was amazing. Very touching expressions.

[Herosmith]

How old were you, 12? Of course there was support from around the world. Was there FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc? No. So maybe it wasn’t posted all over the place for all to see as such, but there was support from around the globe.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

You've got a very poor, or else very 'selective' memory!

Even at the 'Changing of The Guard' ceremony in London, they played 'The Star Spangled Banner', in memory of 9/11.

EVERY NHL game in Canada, even where a US team was not playing, played 'The Star Spangled Banner' ahead of 'O, Canada!' and had two minutes of silence.

CAF (now called what they should have been call, RCAF) aircraft flew CAP over several US cities, in the days following the attack, to relieve US aircraft and crews.

Two hundred fifty-five US bound flights were re-directed to Canadian airports. Gander, NFLD, a town of about 10,000, hosted 6,600 stranded passengers and crew from 53 aircraft.

There were PLENTY of tributes around the world, in respect of 9/11.

Even PM Chretien covertly sent members of JTF2 into Afghanistan, to work with US SpecOps and the Northern Alliance. The Brits also sent members of the SAS and SBS to assist. All of this in September and early October 2001, before regular ground troops arrived.

Here are pictures of Gander and Halifax airports, when flights were suspended 09/11/01:

On a personal level, I saw the second plane hit the Tower, as I was watching TV while getting ready for work. As soon as I got to work, I made an appointment the Red Cross to donate blood. The reporters suggested 15-20,000 injuries, so I thought so many casualties will require blood from blood banks all over Eastern North America. Calgary's Red Cross would have to ship blood East, to cover transfers from Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal to NYC. Luckily, there weren't 20,000 casualties; unfortunately, there were over 3,000 deaths!

A LOT of people all over the world did a LOT of things to honour the memory of the 911 victims, even if you don't remember.

[huldah1776]

Au Contraire my friend. Facebook wasn’t around and we were all in such shock with the recovery taking so long that we didn’t read the news in other nations media outlets.

Do you do that now? Do you want to? newsnow.co.uk is a spider search site for news.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Not true.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

I flew a commercial flight to Germany from Charlotte on September 16, 2001. We were in Frankfurt and went to an Italian restaurant called Giorno et Notte and the entire staff came out of the kitchen when they heard that we were Americans. They were crying. They kept saying I’m so sorry I’m so sorry and spent time with us. The owner had spent his own money to have special candy made in the shape of Twin Towers to honor those lost and he gave some to each of us.

Europe stood with us. You are quite mistaken.

[keats5]

Who writes this pap?

[catfish1957]

Not a Bono fan, but you don’t remember the 2002 Superbowl when he opened his jacket during half time and it was lined with an American Flag design. That was just one of many.

[don-o]

what is Google Plus? What are you posting such garbage on my beloved Free Republic?

[Albion Wilde]

Not true. There were demonstrations all over the world. I was very touched by the photos.

[BfloGuy]

Quit whining. You're wrong.

Do you, by chance, go to Mizzou?

[HotHunt]

Your statement is not accurate at all. The world was one with the US after the attacks on 9/11.

The question is, where were you after 9/11? Playing Patrick in SpongeBob SquarePants and living under a rock?

[WorkingClassFilth]

All kinds of people and governments around the world lent sympathy and support to us.
