Sylvain forwarded, as seen below, an expression in French of support in the
wake of yesterday's horror:
(A translation, from BabelFish, hopefully corrected a bit by me:) Thought
this might be useful.
" In this tragic moment where the words appear so poor to say the shock that
one feels, the first thing which comes to mind is this one: we all are
American! We all are New-Yorker, as surely as John Kennedy declared himself,
in 1963 in Berlin, Berlinois. How not to think, as in the most serious
moments of our history, deeply interdependent of these people and this
country, the United States, to which we are so close and with which we owe
freedom, and thus our solidarity. "

From a famous french journalist :
Jean-Marie COLOMBANI, directeur du "Monde" le 12/09/01:
"Dans ce moment tragique où les mots paraissent si pauvres pour dire le choc
que l'on ressent, la première chose qui vient à l'esprit est celle-ci : nous
sommes tous Américains! Nous sommes tous New-Yorkais, aussi sûrement que
John Kennedy se déclarait, en 1963 à Berlin, Berlinois. Comment ne pas se
sentir en effet, comme dans les moments les plus graves de notre histoire,
profondément solidaires de ce peuple et de ce pays, les Etats-Unis, dont
nous sommes si proches et à qui nous devons la liberté, et donc notre
solidarité."
