Reaction from around the world:

Jordan

"Tuesday 11 September was the United States' 'Yom Kippur', its 'Day of Atonement' for all the sins its policy makers have committed against other countries and people over the last 40-odd years. While the Bush administration has announced its determination to 'wage war on terrorism', the US will never win that war until it addresses the grievances which inspire militants to strike at Washington. Palestine should be at the top of the Bush administration's list because the US pro-Israel stance in this century-old conflict fuels the hatred which drives Muslims to attack 'soft' US targets and kill US citizens."
