One thing I do remember, was after 9/11 spontaneous outpourings of sympathy from the populations of even the most hostile countires. In Iran there were demonstrations against the attack and popular rallies in support of America, in Russia the American embassy was encased in tributes and flowers laid down by the Russian people. I remember American flags being hung up in windows all round Ipswich, the local paper publshed a fold out paper US flag and loads of people pinned it up in their windows.
