Next message: Mary Fletcher: "Re: lv-ab: Question for non-US members on WTC terrorist attack"
Dick,
I heard on one of the press conferences televised today - Colin Powell I
think - that not only have all the NATO countries announced their standing
with us on what ever our response may be if it can be proved that Bin Laden
was behind this but so have Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia and the rest of
the Gulf States.
And amazingly enough, both China and Russia have offered aid in the form of
additional rescue workers.
