And a huge thank you, also, to Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has been so
overtly supportive of the US.  I'm sure there are citizens of the UK who
wish he were not so vocal; he could be taking a risk at putting his own
country in harm's way as well.  It's at times like these when one realizes
that we are all citizens of the world, not just of our own little corner.
Believe me, we Americans are SO grateful for the kind words and supportive
actions of others around the globe.  It has meant more than you can know.
We hope that you friends from other countries stay safe in these crazy
times.
