I have been impressed by the sheer volume of international condolences that have been circulating on the Internet. New (usenet) newsgroups formed (such as alt.terrorism.world-trade-center, alt.usa.disaster, and uk.current-events.us-bombing), and they abound with apologies and "get wells" from people all over the world to citizens of the United States. Listservs of international distributed computing projects, as well, echo the sentiments of outraged persons across the globe condemning the terrorist actions of the past 24 hours. Here are a few examples of some of those messages:
Subject: Get Well Soon

Je ne suis pas citoyen am�ricain mais je peux dire que je suis tr�s choqu� par ce qui vient de se passer aux USA. Je suis citoyen du monde et je me
sens tr�s proche du peuple am�ricain. Il est inadmissible de voir ce que peuvent faire des extr�mistes au nom de leur dieu. Je suis vraiment tr�s
choqu� et ce matin en France, je me sens tr�s mal car j'ai perdu beaucoup de moi-m�me en voyant ce que peut faire l'homme dans ce qu'il a de plus
horrible. Il faut que le peuple am�ricain soit fort face � cette catastrophe.

Condolences from Argentina. I�m very shocked about the assassinations against the American People. When I heard it at the radio, I can�t believe. So much innocent victims. Why do people such cruelty? I can�t understand. It�s terrible that humans are able to do that. A war is cruel enough, but this a cowardly, insidious act.
My heart will stay with all Americans, espacially the familys and friends of the victims of this assassination. I think every thinking human must condemn this act of inhumanity. I hope the world stays together to help our American friends! I can only repeat, my condolences to all Americans

Sympathy and condolences to those who've lost loved ones. This is the most senseless and pointless act of murder in modern history. I pray that the media don't humour the people responsible by calling them terrorists as they're not even worthy of that title. They're base murderers, nothing more nothing less. These deaths will be naught to their own selfish objectives. I hope that the American people doesn't become a part of these peoples mechanisations by doing exactly what they want America to do... strike hard and strike blind. I hope that America will strike in the way they've always done, with precision, intelligence and determination.
You know, I saw the story and thought it was just a shooting of the Spiderman movie. Right now, I kind of hope that it was. Regardless, the world is behind you guys, and I know that America will do what it's always done when pushed... stand back up, dust off, grin, say "So's your mother" and give the offender a mother of a black eye.
I hope someone over there takes solace in the words on this NG.
Peace,

By the way, here's what "triage" means (I had to look it up):
The sorting of and allocation of treatment to patients and especially battle and disaster victims according to a system of priorities designed to maximize the number of survivors; broadly : the assigning of priority order to projects on the basis of where funds and resources can be best used or are most needed.
