If you wonder why other nations should join in to defend freedom
everywhere, the following list was produced of people from other
nations who were in the WTC. The interaction of business from
around the world was being transacted and not just American
business interests in the WTC. These buildings represented
more than just NY or USA, it represented the place where all
could come together to keep business between countries flowing
for all. Although it definitely was a strike against the United States,
it was against the world by barbaric people who definitely have
other plans to continue. We mourn fellow Americans but others
mourn their countrymen also from this great tragedy.

Much has been written about the tragedy that killed many Americans
on September 11. However, some interesting numbers available on

has always been a melting pot of nationalities. At any time in our
history we have had immigrants and visitors from many other
countries. Those working in or visiting the World Trade Center on
September 11 included people of many nationalities. This is not
just an American loss; many countries lost valued citizens last
week:
