I feel a deep sadness inside, please, stop to kill, stop violence, anyone is more worthwhile than a human life, we can have a better world, I want to believe this.

There will be Peace. What action are you taking to stop violence?

250 wounded. Sometimes I'm ashamed of being human. The change has to be inside of all of us. But we cannot justify any kind of idea about revenge, violence, hatred...
Stop nationalisms. We all are human, we are citizens of the world, any stupid idea about nations can be stronger than the respect of the human lives.

I'm devastated

All human beings should be equal.

Last news talk about 134 dead

I really don´t have words to describe how I feel

This morning when I checked the news on the internet at work I started crying. This is so indescribably sad

I got friends and family in Madrid but they are ok, fortunalely

This is a terrible day for our country and our young democracy

¡Viva la vida!

I am totally shocked, Marcos, I have family and friends there too, I think they weren't there, but I don't know. And at last, the only thing is that a lot of people have died unnecessarly. People like us who only wanted to go to work, to live...
Hoy y mañana tenemos que estar en las concentraciones, Marcos, que vean que no les tenemos miedo.

Fucking ETA, brutal bastards!

OMG is it up that far already?! This morning before I left it was at about 30-40 (the death toll).

The Death toll is now 190 !!!!!.....But i think all your political thoughts leave for the Politics & Religion forum.. www.prince.org/msg/105....Cause i think terrorism is terrorism is terrorism.....

Terrorism is the cowards sword

I haven't heard anything about this at all. Did it happen fairly recently?

I am serious. I watch the news before I leave for work in the morning and I am sitting here in Chicago listening to the radio and they have not mentioned it. This thread is the first I have heard about it.

JavierAlcalde said:

Oh wow dude I'm sorry

And oh my God you live in Zaragoza

I had family there for years until they moved to the states, sorry to here that and so close to home in my heart.

Yeah well, that's the U.S for you. (I am American btw) but it seems like it's not really top news when a tragedy or disaster happens anywhere else in the world unless there were Americans killed in it. If not, it's just pushed to the bottom of the list it seems.

My friend the fireman - a terror victim!

I have a friend in Madrid, he's fireman. Maybe I've got to say, he's been fireman, because since 2 years, he can not work anymore.
He got paranoia, because of the experiences he have had, during he worked, with head and soul for the fireman corps. He also defended humanrights and Peace over all, creating a webpage called: www. elartedelapaz.com, but this page does not exist anymore and he's in ruin.
He's got secret sms messages in his mobile phone and otherkind of calles who made him become, with the time, mental ill.
He's 37 years young and he was a very atractive man, a one who we say, sexy latino, and now...
He can't lieve without psycofarmaca anymore and have lost all his friends. He's becoming a shadow from himselve! Probably he will to do take those medicines, for his whole life!

It's horrible! It's fool!

How do stop that terror and when it begins?

My friend, has give his life to help people and he's becoming a shadow, as terror victim! That isn't right! That is not okay, when innocent people has to die for the ideologie of others! Never!
Not as war and not as terror!

Better ask the political leaders about it. It's election in many places including Spain. This country was ally to the US during Irak... The authorities new about something about two weeks ago but they let peoplze blow away. This is POLITICAL!! This war against terror serves some leaders (they also started a similar fear in France) and they use it well.

And all this happened days before the legislative elections...

In the end it's always the same people who pay. If the authorities really wanted to stop those nationalists groups they would have done it a long time ago but they are useful to the political agenda....
