Shared sorrow

HEADNOTE

In place of our normal letters page, here are some messages and thoughts following the terrorist attacks in the United States, September 11, 2001.

(See OECD messages, page 7.)

"We have come together

here today in this hall to show our solidarity with you and your fellow Americans all over the world, to share your grief and sorrow and also to seek comfort and consolation together with you. On behalf of us all I offer our condolences.

There are moments in life when one feels small and helpless. You realise what is futile and what is important. Love is important, friendship is important, solidarity is important, life itself is important. When you look around you will find that you are surrounded by friends.

What has been done to you, to your country, to your society, has also been done to us. For we share the same values of freedom, openness, tolerance, democracy We work with you here every day We agree and we disagree. But on a day like this, I wonder: what would the world be like without America, without the US.
