"Portuguese and Italian airliners that left Lisbon and Rome for New York on Thursday turned back early into their flights after the United States said it was only accepting international flights by U.S. carriers." us.news2.yimg.com This is the kind of arrogance that turns the world off. After all, it was American carrier planes on domestic flights that were hijacked so easily.

Stockholm Syndrome. Alan care must be taken with self recrimination by Americans Since IMHO much of what we will hear in that regard is a product of the Stockholm syndrome: "They weren't bad people. They let me eat, they let me sleep, they gave me my life" - A hostage from Flight 847 In the summer of 1973, four hostages were taken in a botched bank robbery at Kreditbanken in Stockholm, Sweden. At the end of their captivity, six days later, they actively resisted rescue. They refused to testify against their captors, raised money for their legal defense, and according to some reports one of the hostages eventually became engaged to one of her jailed captors. This struck some folks as weird, and as a way of coping with this uneasiness, as they started seeing more examples they named this class of strange behavior the "Stockholm Syndrome." Notorious in the United States is the case of Patty Hearst, who after being kidnapped and tortured by the Symbionese Liberation Army, took up arms and joined their cause, taking on the nom de guerre of "Tania" and helping the SLA rob banks. The Stockholm Syndrome comes into play when a captive cannot escape, is isolated and threatened with death, but is shown token acts of kindness by the captor. It typically takes about three or four days for the psychological shift to take hold. A strategy of trying to keep your captor happy in order to stay alive becomes an obsessive identification with the likes and dislikes of the captor which has the result of warping your own psyche in such a way that you come to sympathize with your tormenter!
