I don't know, but according to "Law Enforcement News" (December
2001)...

55,000: The number of NYPD personnel who will undergo mandatory
psychological counseling to address post-traumatic stress stemming
from the World Trade Center attack.

Well, there seems to be something diluting the pool in that figure.
The NYPD page says there are 39,110 members budgeted for in 2003.
They're hiring, so presumably there are fewer than that.

They need more, their neighbours are far less considerate than ours.

If only. If ONLY our neighbors were equally as considerate instead of
blaming us for the 9/11 attacks, refusing to support us in Iraq, etc.
etc.

"If only" what -- the U.S. were less considerate of Canada? Where
would that get them? Would it produce some advantage? I think not.

Primo, no one in a foreign policy-making position in Canada has blamed
the U.S. government for 11 September.

Secundo, politics in Canada, as in the U.S., is the art of the
possible. Chrétien and his cabinet could not sell the idea of
involvement in Iraq to the public other than with the sanction of the
U.N.

The criticism of U.S. policy in Canada is little different from the
widely held dissenting opinions in the U.S., although I admit those
are not in the majority in the U.S. It's really only a difference of
degree.
