CarmenMCS 's blog: 11M in Spain

As you may or may not know, today we remember the victims of the "11M" in Spain. On 11 March 2004, in Madrid, just three days before our national elections, there was yet another terrorist attack here in Spain, but this time it was quite larger than the ones we've lived in the last decade.

Lots of people has been speculating who the hell the real culprits were, and many made of it a political war such that they are making investigating much more difficult, and every different party want to take advantage of new clues and interpretate them so that they favor them, as if they were THE victims... so insensitive, it's really ridiculous . I've seen so much politic stupidity coming from this. And yet, THE REAL VICTIMS are the ones who were in the trains when the bombs exploded, let's not forget, and they should be the spotlight of this day, not political war. God, sometimes I so want to scream in front of Spanish people's faces "WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING STUPID, YOU FREAKING INSENSITIVE BRAINWASHED BEING!!!" but I guess it's the same in other countries, and luckily, at least 10% of the worldwide population use their brains properly and have their heart in the right place.

For foreign people who want a bit more info in English about this:

Allow me to share some photos and pictures related to this day, and best wishes for the victims and their families. Do let fear control your life, even if saying this from my comfortable chair sounds so cliche.
