The article focuses on the sociopolitical situation in Europe. In Europe, the war began as it did everywhere outside New York and Washington, with pictures on television. From London to Moscow, people watched in horror as the terrible sequence played over and over. As long as those hypnotic images held center stage the European response was probably as direct and elemental, as that of most Americans: grief at the destruction and sympathy for the victims. As the weeks went by, though, Europe and the United States began to follow diverging scripts. The pictures remained the same: file footage of the World Trade Center, mug shots of the suicide bombers, mug shots of terrorist Osama bin Laden and so on.
