RE: View from the UK

Personally I am overwhelmed and grateful at the reactions of our friends
across the pond, both in the U.K. and on the continent. It's really quite
amazing and we are very, very touched. Words do not sufffice. Ireland has
declared a day of mourning and shut down, for blessed sake. I just hope that
in the days to come, our leaders are not spendthrifts with this goodwill.

Reading on http://www.economist.com/ it seems even the leftist French media
have come out in support. The world IS upside down.
