Actually, Shambles, the American coverage has been quite good on the international response. From the UK and nearly all the Commonwealth countries, through Europe, Asia and Africa, coverage has been included of nearly every nation that can be thought of. What has impressed me and many I know here in the States has been the expressions of support, not from governments, but from average citizens - firefighters in Germany, school children in Japan, office clerks in Taiwan. People with NO connection to the States - just other human beings grieving that such a thing could happen.
