Hi, Gary.

I was not surprised when numerous governmental organizations known to harbor terrorists came out with messages condemning the violence. They must be terrified! The US can literally reduce them to dust, and in view of their politics of no mercy, they can only guess at our national reaction by their own standards of behavior.

On the other hand, some of the expressions of sympathy are no doubt genuine. The British, for instance, understand about terrorist attacks on unsuspecting civilians, though not on this scale. And the Japanese are truly distressed, not least because many Japanese citizens were working in the WTC.
