I'm British. I remember working on a building site, listening to the radio when the first plane hit, and thinking "wow, that's awful". Horrific, but a fairly normal terrorist kind of thing. One disgruntled guy or something, maybe a couple. Then the second one hits, and I thought "gently caress me, this is going to cause a war that'll kill all of us". I still had a fair bit of nuclear fear due to a childhood of reading sci-fi. We called it a day on my site, and went home. Once the third plane hit the Pentagon, I was fairly sure none of us would make it to the end of the year due to retaliative strikes from either side. I was too freaked out to pay much attention to the fourth plane. This was, by now, clearly a well-organised group who hated America, and wanted to cause a lot of grief. I'm glad I was wrong about potential escalation, but then again, I live in a country where we've not been escalated against. As well as the poor people who got killed in the attack, I feel sorry for the people who live in the countries who now enjoy a perpetual war, thanks to the actions of some reprehensible cunts.
