WHAT’S WITH THE 11TH?

Yesterday I thought of writing down in this blog all the stuff I have to do before next Tuesday, in order to put things in order and to show the world how much stressed I am :doh:. But as it usually happens, as soon as I begin to feel pity about myself, something really stressing happens to someone else near me…

This time has gone too far: this morning in Madrid happened the biggest terrorist attack in Spanish history (and the 4th in the European one) :neutral:. More info here, here & here. Someone has pointed that Al-Qaeda might be the responsible of the attacks… Come on! Everybody knows it has been signed by ETA.

There’s nothing romantic about ETA, as they have tried to sell to the international oppinion. They are just killers. And thanks a lot, Mr. Bush, for having dealt with them after sucking up to our stupid current President in order to make him support you in the stupid Irak war. What will be your next action? Invading Spain to remove ETA from here? Everything is so stupid…

The political campaign is over (the only “positive” fact about the whole thing), and there will be three days of official mourning, just until the day of the polls.

Fortunately, all of the numerous relatives and friends that I have in Madrid are ok.

And I am happy with my stress :uh:.

    Ha sido un día horrible.Yo me he enterado al medio día y no me lo podía creer.Ahora no logro localizar a la gente que conozco de Madrid…
    Esto es demasiado.No puedo ni encender la tele.Pero,mañana,a las 19:00 estaré en la calle.Expresando mi odio y repulsa hacia esos hijos de la grandísima puta y mi dolor por las víctimas y sus familiares.

    Hi Calítoe!

    I was fearing someone of your circle of friends or family could be affected by this unbelievable act of murder and I’m glad this is not the case. That is at least something.
    I don’t really know what else to say in this very moment, I’m yet to uninformed to understand the background, I suppose and I don’t want to give you one of those dramatic “We’re with you” notes, but then, in fact, we are!
    The only thing that disturbs me about it is that every once in a while you hear from attacks in Spain and no one really seems to care, because of the lower victim count. I have no clue whether it is appropriate to babble about double standards in a moment like this, but I couldn’t help it, I had to utter it.

    I wish you a good night nonetheless!

    Danke Frauke, it’s a bit sad that there had to be such a big masacre to see that some our European fellows do care about our terrorism too. But thanks for your words. Did you know? The number of deaths caused by E.T.A since their beginnings in 1973 is over 900 but the number of affected in some way is countless.
    Amd I don’t believe this has something to do with Al-Qaeda, honest.
