Andre and Julian, I won't discuss my political view on this here or 
now.  Suffice it to say on these issues my views are MUCH more typically 
European than typically American.

In any event, I would be marching in Spain tonight if I could and on 
March 20 I shall be marching for peace and against the war in Iraq. So, 
please don't read more into my post about Madrid than what I actually 
put there..

Out of respect for the 200 dead and 1500 wounded, now is not a time for 
politics.  Let Spain bury her sons and daughters first. There will be 
time for the living to act once the funerals are over.

However, I'll say again, please lets keep the political side of this 
off-list.  The dead and wounded don't deserve us bickering above their 
bodies as their countrymen march and weep in the rain.

In any event, I'm not going to discuss this further here.  My original 
post was made out of respect for the dead and wounded, and out of  
sympathy and compassion for those touched by this tragedy.  Nothing 
more, nothing less..  Further comment by me would sully the blood spilt 
on those streets with the muck of politics.. Those who fell there 
deserve better than that.
