In the week after Sept. 11th, 2001, thousands of Muslims, including many Iranians, lit candles for victims of terrorist acts in the USA. America has been such a bad neighbor since then, it's been easy to forget how much support she had worldwide in the immediate aftermath of these horrible crimes. This year, how about lighting a candle and putting it in your window in an act of solidarity and rememberance? Here's a website that talks about it: Light the Night for Peace and Friendship. I participated in this last year, too. If you're worried about catching your curtains on fire, battery-operated tea candles are fairly cheap and worry-free, plus they're great for candlelight vigils on windy days!
