Finland was shocked, but afterwards, we really didn't care. Neither do we now, the media tried to do a big thing about it when it reached the 10 years ago mark (as they try to do from any disaster) but at the end only 2 papers (which are really the same paper, owned by same company but published under 2 names) ended up doing the special thing about the even but no one really bought them, I still see stacks of them sitting in the stores floors.
But anyway, the international media did care when it happened, it was a big think a horrible event no excuses for that. But what the international community thinks really is that America had it coming one way or another. America doesn't really want to listen to the international community before acting, causing really mixed opinions and you guys really always think that every country looks up to you guys, as some pinnacle of western lifestyle.
Basically, I didn't care back then, seeing that I was first grader, neither do I care now. But I think you war on terrorism keeps hurting you and your international relationships more than the terrorist. I know this one fellow who can't fly in America aerospace because she was suspected of being a terrorist for having her insulin syringe in her backpack when going to the plane. And did I forgot to mention, her ethnicity is Turkish.
I have seen your airport, one tunnel 4 security checks and constant stereotypic profiling, you will destroy your international relationships and destroy yourself. In my opinion the state of America keeps showing signs of the terrorist winning, you are destroying your iconic freedom and bravery because you are afraid, that is just what they want to see, you being afraid and changing your life-styles, that is how they are going to destroy you and you guys are so falling to their trap.
I don't like specially like America, I don't hate it either. And that is enough to flame me as a terrorist, but luckily I wan white as the winter snow...
It is sad isn't it...
But at the end of the day 9/11 and pentagon happened and I still don't care, I will never care. Long as you keep ignoring UN and the international community no one is going to care about you guys and there is no one else who can force the change than the people, not the government.
