i think newstoday wasn't born yet, or at least i did not know about it yet..but once i got on here i read the stories from people who were really close to it, and that was more emotive then most tv reports coming from overseas.
also made me relate more to the american citizen, as most europeans did.. in this respect it was good. people in the us where not simply about consumption, power and capitalism. they became as real and vulnerable as we remembered our parents and grandparents experiencing WWII.
it was only politics that made a gap between us. the event itself really opened our eyes to the suffering of many americans, esp. new yorkers.
