Nearly a milennium as enemies, a century as tight knit allies and decades as fellow members of a continental union mean we may well understand each other as much as any two nations ever could. We're tied together by shared history and shared values.
A few leagues of salty water don't look like much of a barrier when compared to all we've been through together. Thoughts go out to the all the people of France, your grief can't be taken from you, but it can be shared.

While you are right in what you mean to say, "eye of the storm" doesn't really match your meaning. The eye of a storm is the calmest place in a storm. People sometimes get wounded in storms because they think it is over and go outside when they are just in the eye of it. I'm sure there's a better expression for being in the center of chaos.

Brainwash someone from a young age to hate a group of people, and they will not see that group as human. Once the mental barrier of empathy that prevents us from committing violence against innocent people is torn down, it's disturbingly easy for people to commit atrocities.

I don't mean to quibble in the light of this tragic event, but those who are recruited to engage in suicide bombings and other acts of terrorism like this are not the 'poor, uneducated and religious zealots' that we all imagine them to be. These people actually tend to be reasonably well educated and not particularly religious before they are indoctrinated into an extremist interpretation of the Koran.

No, this is not enough.
Would ISIS even be a force without the Iraq war? A war which France opposed and tried to talk our leaders out of? Does anyone else remember the protests in Paris against the Iraq war, and how Congress downplayed France, Germany, and Russia by saying they were blinded by "all their lucrative contracts" over there? Does anyone else remember the Capitol cafeteria changing their menu item from "french fries" to "freedom fries" to spite them?
No, it's not enough. It's not enough. I'm ashamed. I'm too ashamed to slap you on the back and say "we're with you, buddy!" That would be ignorant of me to do.
We caused this.
It was out of the control of individual joes like me, but our country caused it.

Thank you for saying this.
I wish as much as the next guy that those warmongers who irresponsibly led to the invasion of Iraq be held accountable, but this isn't gonna happen and this is now a fait accompli no matter what.
To be honest though, our own government came close enough to try and topple the Syrian regime a couple of years ago.
And France made its own call to fight against ISIS, which is likely the stated "reason" (not that these kind of people really need one anyways, but still) why we were exposed to such senseless violence yesterday night.
Regardless of who started it, we're in all of this together now.

Hey bud, your support is honestly humbling and I'm not sure how to say that, but don't carry a burden that's not yours. Sure the situation sucks, and for the French people who actually were interested in the topic and did things to dissuade others from going to war there, it does feel disheartening to be in the current situation. But complaining about it ain't gonna make things better. Nor is blaming the USA, or even George W. Sure it makes you feel better in the short term, but at the end of the day you're just ignoring reality.
So, what can be done? I dunno. It's complicated for sure, and there won't be a simple "do this and everything will be fine" solution. As I said, I'm humbled that you'd feel so strongly towards us, but don't let that make you bitter either. We know fully well that the war in Iraq wasn't decided unanimously by the US citizens. And even then, mistakes happen and blaming you or the US or a religion for that would be pretty hypocritical. Shit happens. Shit happened.
Anyway it's a bit rambley but I just wanted to tell you that it's cool being outraged that way for others, but you shouldn't take it too harshly on yourself either. "Freedom fries" business is just political bullshit and mannerism.

Exactly. As an American, we love to poke at our French friends as much as they do us. But in reality, in our (the US) short history as a nation, no country has stood next to us, supported us, and fought along side us as the French have. Like siblings, we drive each other up the walls on a daily basis. But when there is a fight to be fought, all differences will be put aside and we'll fight as one as we always have.

In the recent past, the people of my country have said some unkind things about you. In the heat of passion and anger from our own tragedy, we lashed out at you. For that, I apologize, the words said were not said remembering the years of loyalty France has shown my country. The love and respect that endures 239 years cannot be broken by angry words.
We stand with you, France, in what ever way you need. If you need to cry, our shoulder is yours. If you need help, our hand is outstretched. If you need to fight, we will stand with you. Anything, ask of it, and we will provide.
My thoughts, prayers, and best wishes for the victims and families of this tragedy. All the luck in the world to your emergency service workers. And courage to the good people of France.

To the french and everyone else:
I know you're angry, we all are, but we can't do what America did after 9/11. The reason history is taught is that we can learn from previous mistakes that we've made, America's aggressive wars against the middle east following 9/11 was a mistake. If you haven't noticed for the past 20 years or so, killing them with violence doesn't solve the issues, it only engulfs them. I purpose that we give peace a chance. If you see a Muslim, hug it out, they're human like us and they will be receiving massive amounts of hate for a while now.
Stay strong my friends:

On 9/12/2001 I was locked in my apartment near the Pentagon listening to the helicopters scream by overhead and the humvees roll down my street. I was watching the news, still in shock, and sobbing at the outpouring of love shown from around the world, the signs and notes and vigils, all the messages of support and solidarity, in so many languages but all meaning the same thing. And now it is my turn, and I will light a candle for France.

It's just awful and shitty to see this keep happening.
A lot of us American redditors were kids or teenagers when 9/11 happened, and I think we sort of assumed that would be the end of it. Instead we've bared witness to the a near continual recurrence of tragic events like this all over the world for over a decade.
I'm sure it's not as traumatic as what our grandparents experienced during WWII, but the senselessness, callousness, and deeply personal nature of these acts makes them difficult to fathom as we get older. I can't imagine being murdered randomly for no reason by a stranger for some vague political reason. And I can't imagine caring that little about another human being.
Most importantly seeing these things play out time and time again, only softens our hearts and strengthens our resolve with the passage of time. We are connected in way that the generations who preceded us aren't, and however impersonal that connection may be, it helps us show each other love when life is dark, and reminds us that we are never as alone as we think we are in life when tragedy strikes.
I hope you guys are okay, I hope you heal soon, and I look forward to seeing another touching and inspiring display of solidarity from your nations people in the face of adversity.
I hope you get to sit down with your loved ones, and get back to savoring your smelly cheeses soon. :)

Only education can adequately combat fundamentalist interpretations of belief systems that call for the death of the people who disagree with them, or for the wholesale mistreatment of people based on their race, gender, nationality, sexuality, or ideals.
And while bombs and guns can neutralize threats of eminent immediacy, the use of either to excess can, and often does, have unintended collateral consequences.
Far more prudent it seems, to make an active attempt to convince this enemy that his cause is not worth fighting for; rather than potentially risk giving his brethren the same cause to want to die for.
This is the second time this year that the people of France have had to endure the irrational and violent wrath of this particular lunatic fringe of fundamentalists. My thoughts are with the French people, and they are also with the moderate Muslims who will inevitably be lumped in unfairly with those who committed these attacks.
"Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."
-Martin Luther King Jr.
No words can heal the pain or assuage your fears right now, but know the world is with you; and that good by far outnumbers evil.

By that metric, a Nike is "a shoe used by some terrorists".
AK47 is one of the most widespread, cheap and easily available weapon, which requires very little maintenance, and has a ton of unit in illegal circulation in europe since the kosovo war.
So yes, some terrorists did use it, just like they also used Toyota car and Nike shoes.

threat level of a terrorist attack was reported high for the upcoming Christmas time
These are unconfirmed news from Reddit's live thread, BBC & Sky News livestreams. Seeing how Jihadi John was confirmed killed, I could see how they can move up their schedule and use these attacks as retaliation.

I was in 4th grade - age 9 - when 9/11 happened. I had been in school all day, and I was still young, so I never really grasped the full situation as it was happening.
This is what I imagine it was like for us. No idea what is happening, how many are dead or injured, and, more terrifying than that, no idea when it will end. I'm sitting here, in my apartment in Washington DC, halfway around the world, crying, nursing a bottle of whiskey, and watching the news in a language I don't understand. Please let it be over.

Dear french friends, we have been fierce enemies in two cruel wars, yet you found the heart to reach out to us after that. Today we stand side by side, shoulder by shoulder, hand in hand in the heart of Europe. You have been the spark of modern democracy in all the world. Never will that be forgotten. Never will we let them win. Let them try to bring hate into the hearts of mankind. They will not succeed. Keep up your strong values! May we not drift apart in these harsh times, but let us stand even closer, knowing that we share your values in all the western world. People singing the Marseillaise in the subway right after those horrible events shows the spirit and strength of your great and mighty nation! It brought tears to my eyes. Every democracy all around the world is founded on your strong values: Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité - They will never be brought down! France will stand strong. And it will do so not alone, but with friends on all of its borders. In these days, all democracies all around the world reach out their hands back to their home country. With all best wishes from your neighbours, your partners, your friends. Vive la France! Vive la démocratie!

I am so frightfully saddened by the terrors in Paris today. I don't speak French—closest language is Spanish for me. But I needed to write something to the French people even though I am no one special, and I thought it should be in French. The US and France just have this antagonistic, yet respecting relationship that always moves me to express my affection for them. I am grateful to France for the intellectual inspiration they provided to our Founding Fathers, for the assistance they gave us in our time of need, and the centuries of cultural exchange despite all the crap we give them for being so different from us in international politics. Permittez-moi (and please don't repost this on some "I am enlightened by my own fedora" sub, pretty please),
L'Hexagone, soyons réalistes. Vous êtes fous socialistes. Nous sommes ploucs violents. Mais c'est comme cela entre frères de sang.
Beaucoup de choses ont éte écrites concernant la "relation spécial" entre Amérique et Bretagne. Mais France et America ont une relation durable et précieuse, un amour de bleu, blanc, et rouge. Vous nous avez aidés à gagner l'indépendence. Nous vous avons aidés à reprendre vôtre.
Années et années de lutte pour la liberté de notre monde. Ensemble.
Nous Américaines serons à vos côtés tout au long de ce parcours. Liberté, égalité, fraternité à jamais.

I just want to say that I lived and studied in France for the first part of this year. Before that, I studied in Spain and took a trip to Paris that literally changed my life. The moment I boarded the plane coming back to the US, I knew I'd go back to Paris, the city that so deeply touched me. I just had to come back, despite the fact I would have to delay my graduation, and despite the fact that I didn't have any money.
Back home, I lied to my professor that I had taken French in high school so that I could take 2 advanced French classes simultaneously with French 101 and 102, so I would have enough credits to enroll in a study abroad program in France. I studied French day and night for a year and a half and I got accepted in the program. The only student from my university accepted in the program. I lived the most beautiful, and the craziest days of my life in France. Many of those in Paris. I stand with you, Paris. You are my home. Thank you for all you've given me. Thank you for changing my life in more ways than I can possibly explain. I stand with you, stay strong. Je suis Paris.

A little history lesson and ramblings, but it from a place of love and appreciation and respect and it'll round out:
Seeing as how I live in the north country of New York state, there is a strong tie and appreciation for France and the assistance given during the Revolutionary War. Going into New York State's Capitol building, there is a giant Portrait for General Marquis de Lafayette. The United States has also given him honorary citizenship--on multiple occasions; during his life and posthumously. The France came to the United States in its times of need. In the entrance of the United States to aid France during World War I, Col. Charles Stanton proclaimed, "Nous voila, Lafayette!" (Lafayette, we are here!)
On this day, I do say "Nous voila, France"

To my French brothers and sisters I am so sorry for what you are going through. All too well do we know the pain, the anger, and that confusion that your feeling right now. It may seem like the world is bleak right now but you need to know this: You are not alone. We have never forgotten you were there for us in 1776 and touched our hearts after 9/11 and we will be here for you now and always will be.
Also know that there are way more good people than bad in this world. The opposition is fighting a war they will not win. As long as there are people willing to fight for what's right and just then evil like this will never win, just postpone their inevitable demise.
We love you. I love you. Vive la France.

Hello brothers in France. What you experienced last night you are not experiencing alone. Here in America, it is hitting us hard. I was on a flight from Phoenix to Chicago when this broke out. I was on Reddit during the flight. The news started to come in to others on the flight and all of us were just in utter shock. Some of us cried, some of us felt overwhelming anger and rage (me being one of those). Reflecting now, it pains my heart. We love you, and we stand with you. We bicker like brothers, but we are brothers. Stay strong. From all of us across the pond, vive la France, la liberté de longue vie!

I'm not too great with words myself, so I'll let someone much better at them say it for me:
This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.
-FDR
And you will endure, as you have endured. Of this I have no doubt.
Today, we are all french. We stand with you, now and in the coming days.

My condolences to Parisians, and utter frustration of constant butchery of human lives. Is there a solution there?
Cette fois c'est le monde entier qui n'oubliera jamais. On n'oublie jamais ce qui est arrivé à Paris hier. Le président de la république a répondu aux actes térroristes du 11 septembre en disant "Aujourd'hui nous sommes tous Américain"

Nearly a milennium as enemies, a century as tight knit allies and decades as fellow members of a continental union mean we may well understand each other as much as any two nations ever could. We're tied together by shared history and shared values.
A few leagues of salty water don't look like much of a barrier when compared to all we've been through together. Thoughts go out to the all the people of France, your grief can't be taken from you, but it can be shared.

While you are right in what you mean to say, "eye of the storm" doesn't really match your meaning. The eye of a storm is the calmest place in a storm. People sometimes get wounded in storms because they think it is over and go outside when they are just in the eye of it. I'm sure there's a better expression for being in the center of chaos.

Brainwash someone from a young age to hate a group of people, and they will not see that group as human. Once the mental barrier of empathy that prevents us from committing violence against innocent people is torn down, it's disturbingly easy for people to commit atrocities.

I don't mean to quibble in the light of this tragic event, but those who are recruited to engage in suicide bombings and other acts of terrorism like this are not the 'poor, uneducated and religious zealots' that we all imagine them to be. These people actually tend to be reasonably well educated and not particularly religious before they are indoctrinated into an extremist interpretation of the Koran.

No, this is not enough.
Would ISIS even be a force without the Iraq war? A war which France opposed and tried to talk our leaders out of? Does anyone else remember the protests in Paris against the Iraq war, and how Congress downplayed France, Germany, and Russia by saying they were blinded by "all their lucrative contracts" over there? Does anyone else remember the Capitol cafeteria changing their menu item from "french fries" to "freedom fries" to spite them?
No, it's not enough. It's not enough. I'm ashamed. I'm too ashamed to slap you on the back and say "we're with you, buddy!" That would be ignorant of me to do.
We caused this.

Thank you for saying this.
I wish as much as the next guy that those warmongers who irresponsibly led to the invasion of Iraq be held accountable, but this isn't gonna happen and this is now a fait accompli no matter what.
To be honest though, our own government came close enough to try and topple the Syrian regime a couple of years ago.
And France made its own call to fight against ISIS, which is likely the stated "reason" (not that these kind of people really need one anyways, but still) why we were exposed to such senseless violence yesterday night.
Regardless of who started it, we're in all of this together now.

Hey bud, your support is honestly humbling and I'm not sure how to say that, but don't carry a burden that's not yours. Sure the situation sucks, and for the French people who actually were interested in the topic and did things to dissuade others from going to war there, it does feel disheartening to be in the current situation. But complaining about it ain't gonna make things better. Nor is blaming the USA, or even George W. Sure it makes you feel better in the short term, but at the end of the day you're just ignoring reality.
So, what can be done? I dunno. It's complicated for sure, and there won't be a simple "do this and everything will be fine" solution. As I said, I'm humbled that you'd feel so strongly towards us, but don't let that make you bitter either. We know fully well that the war in Iraq wasn't decided unanimously by the US citizens. And even then, mistakes happen and blaming you or the US or a religion for that would be pretty hypocritical. Shit happens. Shit happened.
Anyway it's a bit rambley but I just wanted to tell you that it's cool being outraged that way for others, but you shouldn't take it too harshly on yourself either. "Freedom fries" business is just political bullshit and mannerism.

But in reality, in our (the US) short history as a nation, no country has stood next to us, supported us, and fought along side us as the French have. Like siblings, we drive each other up the walls on a daily basis. But when there is a fight to be fought, all differences will be put aside and we'll fight as one as we always have.

In the recent past, the people of my country have said some unkind things about you. In the heat of passion and anger from our own tragedy, we lashed out at you. For that, I apologize, the words said were not said remembering the years of loyalty France has shown my country. The love and respect that endures 239 years cannot be broken by angry words.
We stand with you, France, in what ever way you need. If you need to cry, our shoulder is yours. If you need help, our hand is outstretched. If you need to fight, we will stand with you. Anything, ask of it, and we will provide.
My thoughts, prayers, and best wishes for the victims and families of this tragedy. All the luck in the world to your emergency service workers. And courage to the good people of France.

To the french and everyone else:
I know you're angry, we all are, but we can't do what America did after 9/11. The reason history is taught is that we can learn from previous mistakes that we've made, America's aggressive wars against the middle east following 9/11 was a mistake. If you haven't noticed for the past 20 years or so, killing them with violence doesn't solve the issues, it only engulfs them. I purpose that we give peace a chance. If you see a Muslim, hug it out, they're human like us and they will be receiving massive amounts of hate for a while now.

On 9/12/2001 I was locked in my apartment near the Pentagon listening to the helicopters scream by overhead and the humvees roll down my street. I was watching the news, still in shock, and sobbing at the outpouring of love shown from around the world, the signs and notes and vigils, all the messages of support and solidarity, in so many languages but all meaning the same thing. And now it is my turn, and I will light a candle for France.

It's just awful and shitty to see this keep happening.
A lot of us American redditors were kids or teenagers when 9/11 happened, and I think we sort of assumed that would be the end of it. Instead we've bared witness to the a near continual recurrence of tragic events like this all over the world for over a decade.
I'm sure it's not as traumatic as what our grandparents experienced during WWII, but the senselessness, callousness, and deeply personal nature of these acts makes them difficult to fathom as we get older. I can't imagine being murdered randomly for no reason by a stranger for some vague political reason. And I can't imagine caring that little about another human being.
Most importantly seeing these things play out time and time again, only softens our hearts and strengthens our resolve with the passage of time. We are connected in way that the generations who preceded us aren't, and however impersonal that connection may be, it helps us show each other love when life is dark, and reminds us that we are never as alone as we think we are in life when tragedy strikes.
I hope you guys are okay, I hope you heal soon, and I look forward to seeing another touching and inspiring display of solidarity from your nations people in the face of adversity.
I hope you get to sit down with your loved ones, and get back to savoring your smelly cheeses soon. :)

Only education can adequately combat fundamentalist interpretations of belief systems that call for the death of the people who disagree with them, or for the wholesale mistreatment of people based on their race, gender, nationality, sexuality, or ideals.
And while bombs and guns can neutralize threats of eminent immediacy, the use of either to excess can, and often does, have unintended collateral consequences.
Far more prudent it seems, to make an active attempt to convince this enemy that his cause is not worth fighting for; rather than potentially risk giving his brethren the same cause to want to die for.
This is the second time this year that the people of France have had to endure the irrational and violent wrath of this particular lunatic fringe of fundamentalists. My thoughts are with the French people, and they are also with the moderate Muslims who will inevitably be lumped in unfairly with those who committed these attacks.
"Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." -Martin Luther King Jr.
No words can heal the pain or assuage your fears right now, but know the world is with you; and that good by far outnumbers evil.
Nous pleurons avec vous, et nous nous tenons à vos côtés France.

By that metric, a Nike is "a shoe used by some terrorists".
AK47 is one of the most widespread, cheap and easily available weapon, which requires very little maintenance, and has a ton of unit in illegal circulation in europe since the kosovo war. So yes, some terrorists did use it, just like they also used Toyota car and Nike shoes.

I had the pleasure of visiting Paris in 1994 when I was 18. What an amazing city. It breaks my heart to hear about this horrible thing that happened to you Parisians and French citizens.
I hope we Americans help our oldest friend find justice!

I was in 4th grade - age 9 - when 9/11 happened. I had been in school all day, and I was still young, so I never really grasped the full situation as it was happening.
This is what I imagine it was like for us. No idea what is happening, how many are dead or injured, and, more terrifying than that, no idea when it will end. I'm sitting here, in my apartment in Washington DC, halfway around the world, crying, nursing a bottle of whiskey, and watching the news in a language I don't understand. Please let it be over.

Dear french friends, we have been fierce enemies in two cruel wars, yet you found the heart to reach out to us after that. Today we stand side by side, shoulder by shoulder, hand in hand in the heart of Europe. You have been the spark of modern democracy in all the world. Never will that be forgotten. Never will we let them win. Let them try to bring hate into the hearts of mankind. They will not succeed. Keep up your strong values! May we not drift apart in these harsh times, but let us stand even closer, knowing that we share your values in all the western world. People singing the Marseillaise in the subway right after those horrible events shows the spirit and strength of your great and mighty nation! It brought tears to my eyes. Every democracy all around the world is founded on your strong values: Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité - They will never be brought down! France will stand strong. And it will do so not alone, but with friends on all of its borders. In these days, all democracies all around the world reach out their hands back to their home country. With all best wishes from your neighbours, your partners, your friends. Vive la France! Vive la démocratie!

I am so frightfully saddened by the terrors in Paris today. I don't speak French—closest language is Spanish for me. But I needed to write something to the French people even though I am no one special, and I thought it should be in French. The US and France just have this antagonistic, yet respecting relationship that always moves me to express my affection for them. I am grateful to France for the intellectual inspiration they provided to our Founding Fathers, for the assistance they gave us in our time of need, and the centuries of cultural exchange despite all the crap we give them for being so different from us in international politics. Permittez-moi (and please don't repost this on some "I am enlightened by my own fedora" sub, pretty please),
L'Hexagone, soyons réalistes. Vous êtes fous socialistes. Nous sommes ploucs violents. Mais c'est comme cela entre frères de sang.
Beaucoup de choses ont éte écrites concernant la "relation spécial" entre Amérique et Bretagne. Mais France et America ont une relation durable et précieuse, un amour de bleu, blanc, et rouge. Vous nous avez aidés à gagner l'indépendence. Nous vous avons aidés à reprendre vôtre.
Années et années de lutte pour la liberté de notre monde. Ensemble.
Nous Américaines serons à vos côtés tout au long de ce parcours. Liberté, égalité, fraternité à jamais.

I just want to say that I lived and studied in France for the first part of this year. Before that, I studied in Spain and took a trip to Paris that literally changed my life. The moment I boarded the plane coming back to the US, I knew I'd go back to Paris, the city that so deeply touched me. I just had to come back, despite the fact I would have to delay my graduation, and despite the fact that I didn't have any money.
Back home, I lied to my professor that I had taken French in high school so that I could take 2 advanced French classes simultaneously with French 101 and 102, so I would have enough credits to enroll in a study abroad program in France. I studied French day and night for a year and a half and I got accepted in the program. The only student from my university accepted in the program. I lived the most beautiful, and the craziest days of my life in France. Many of those in Paris. I stand with you, Paris. You are my home. Thank you for all you've given me. Thank you for changing my life in more ways than I can possibly explain. I stand with you, stay strong. Je suis Paris.

A little history lesson and ramblings, but it from a place of love and appreciation and respect and it'll round out:
Seeing as how I live in the north country of New York state, there is a strong tie and appreciation for France and the assistance given during the Revolutionary War. Going into New York State's Capitol building, there is a giant Portrait for General Marquis de Lafayette. The United States has also given him honorary citizenship--on multiple occasions; during his life and posthumously. The France came to the United States in its times of need. In the entrance of the United States to aid France during World War I, Col. Charles Stanton proclaimed, "Nous voila, Lafayette!" (Lafayette, we are here!)
On this day, I do say "Nous voila, France"

EDIT: I made some for you guys
This image became popular in Lafayette, Louisiana after the recent mass shooting here, it was something for people to rally around and show that we would not let terrorist assholes change us. (I think one of the victims created it). Even though what is happening in Paris pales in comparison to what we experienced here, I can't think of a more appropriate thing to share my feelings. Vive la France! Vive la Paris!

Hello brothers in France. What you experienced last night you are not experiencing alone. Here in America, it is hitting us hard. I was on a flight from Phoenix to Chicago when this broke out. I was on Reddit during the flight. The news started to come in to others on the flight and all of us were just in utter shock. Some of us cried, some of us felt overwhelming anger and rage (me being one of those). Reflecting now, it pains my heart. We love you, and we stand with you. We bicker like brothers, but we are brothers. Stay strong. From all of us across the pond, vive la France, la liberté de longue vie!

I'm not too great with words myself, so I'll let someone much better at them say it for me:
This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.
-FDR
And you will endure, as you have endured. Of this I have no doubt.
Today, we are all french. We stand with you, now and in the coming days.
Not just America, but as you can see from this thread: the entire world is behind you.

Cette fois c'est le monde entier qui n'oubliera jamais. On n'oublie jamais ce qui est arrivé à Paris hier. Le président de la république a répondu aux actes térroristes du 11 septembre en disant "Aujourd'hui nous sommes tous Américain"
Alors, comme nous, nous n'oublions pas non plus, aujourd'hui le monde entier ferme ses bataillons. "Contre nous de la tyrannie". Aujourd'hui nous sommes tous Francais.
Tous mes condoléances, depuis la Suéde.

America will never forget or abandon our first friend. Especially in a situation so familiar to us. This is too fucking common today. Vive la France.

The motto of Paris is "She is tossed by the waves but does not sink". It could not have been more appropriate

My heart cries out for the French people. The United States knows full well how much it owes the nation of France and it's people. I only hope that we as a country and people are able to do something to help you.
