    They suspended the traditional Changing of the Guard, and will play the AMerican Nat'l Anthem instead in honor of our victims.

    It's wonderful to have such great allies in the world. Especially from a country we've fought with before. I'm so glad to know how much they think of us, and that they know how much we think of them.

    God Bless America.

    I used to work in the UK, and have had several emails with support.

    They are BY FAR our biggest allies.

    I have friend from South Africa who is living in London and she went to Buckingham Palace to join in the vigil. Very stirring. I am an American and I am heartened to know that so many people around the world share our pain and are helping out.

    Man that is deep, and an ultimate sign of respect! Yesterday Russia had a moment of silence. A moment of silence! For the UNITED STATES! Whoa. . .

    Good to hear. All of this makes me feel better. It isn't us against the world. We have friends.

    I am British, i have lots of family still living there and they are all in shock just like the US. Playing the Us national anthem at the changing of the gaurd is a HUGE, HUGE sign of respect, the changing of the gaurd is very, very important. Ive had a lot of mates from London and other places in the UK call and just say how upset they were.

    WOW Again. I watched it on CNN and I still cant believe it. Brits where everywhere crying and waving US flags. I will never forget them. They are our truest allies. Very Proud to be allied with them.

    If the **** hits the fan, I would really only count on them and Israel on our side. I have no faith in NATO.
