Also, I found this in the opening paragraph of a column by Jean-Marie Colombani in Wednesday's LeMonde (Paris' newspaper) and translated it with the help of some software and my rudimentrary skills:
In this tragic moment where the words appear so poor to say the shock that one feels, the first thing which comes to mind is this one: we all are American! We all are New-Yorker, as surely as John Kennedy declared himself, in 1963 in Berlin, Ich bin Berliner. How else to find oneself indeed, as in the most serious moments of our history, deeply interdependent of these people and this country, the United States, to which we are so close and with which we owe freedom, and thus our solidarity.
The support Europe has been showing for us has been simply incredible to me.
