Rush-hour attacks in Madrid on the trains. 190 people killed, and counting. This is the second time in the last year that a place I visited has been attacked. Last year, it was Casablanca, when they attacked the hotel I stayed in five years ago. Michael and I were in Madrid last Christmas break.
A few random thoughts. It sounds like Al Queda. The Spanish government blames the ETA, but this doesn't match their modus operandi. The government supported the Bush administration's attack on Iraq, but the people sure didn't. Why do they have to suffer? Michael points out the date coincidence — March 11. Is this going to be us again in six months? Sooner?
Terrorists must be the biggest egomaniacs in the world. To think that their cause is so important that they can do these things? There are no words for it, and no justifications. And on a more selfish note, if they cause Bush to get reelected, I'm going to be exceedingly pissed off.
