In the days following September Eleventh, I was heartened by the many expressions of support, sympathy and solidarity from those overseas. In particular some Brits I know were right there with us.

On the other hand, I've also encountered many comments (from "within" as well) that ranged from insensitive to downright vicious. (And I'm not talking about the Islamic world here.)

I was talking about this with a friend of mind in England, and she pointed me to the UK Sunday Times article by Bryan Appleyard that I've linked below.

I found it helpful, and thought I would share it with you.

I should note that this is not intended in any way as a comment on or response to other discussions here.
