Thank you so much for providing a link to that website....

I am sitting here on my lunch hour, trying very hard not to cry (and failing miserably).

I am a former State Dept employee, and to see pictures of people around the world, showing their compassion toward the US, is not something I am used to.

I used to work at the US Embassy in London. So many days, so many times from my office, you could see and hear people - many, many people - screaming in protest at the latest US "indiscretion".

There were days when we had to delay leaving the building, or leave via Marine escort at the back door, because people would actually THROW things at us!!! And this, in a country we consider our strongest ally. In my 3 years there, not once can I remember a "Pro-USA" rally at our Embassy. So, seeing these pictures brought TONS of emotion - and comfort - to me right now.

Thanks again for posting it.
