If it is possible to say anything positive has come from this attack, it
would have to be the apparent condemnation by many countries, even enemies
of the US, of the terrorist actions.
Perhaps this event that is fostering solidarity will establish some common
ground for all of the countries that have commented so far.
Of course some of this could be nothing more than lip service, but I choose
to give them the benefit of the doubt today and take some comfort in this.
Perhaps I am being naive, I hope not.

World Mourns U.S. Terror Attacks

North Korea called the attacks "tragic," adding that it "is opposed to all
forms of terrorism." The U.S. State Department lists North Korea among seven
national "sponsors of terrorism."
Libya, Syria, Sudan and Iran - all of which are accused by the United States
of sponsoring terrorism - also condemned the attacks.
"Irrespective of the conflict with America it is a human duty to show
sympathy with the American people, and be with them at these horrifying and
awesome events which are bound to awaken human conscience," Libyan leader
Moammar Gadhafi said.
