I'm not sure if you remember, but the people in the planes and in the buildings were not all natural born American citizens. As much as we'd like to say it was an American tragedy, it affected the entire world.

Actually one example is from the West Bank and Gaza. Those weren't terrorists in the street dancing and handing out candy. Those were women, children, men, everyone. In fact the government became a partner in it by not only not stopping it but allowing it to occur. While the "celebrations" were occuring, Arafat ordered PA security forces to round up any and all reporters and to make sure no images were captured; of course he couldn't stop everyone. Reporters were outraged and the free press issued an angry response.
