I remember specifically in Iran of all places that there were solidarity candle vigils for America. It was the time of the mass amount of student uprisings. I actually thought the mass protests and uprisings were going to topple the gov of Iran, so too did the gov of Iran worry about that too. That all ceases once Bush messed it up with his axis of evil posturing. It gave the Iranian authorities all the excuse they needed to brutally crack down.
