As I sat at my favourite cafe this morning, with my usual weekend espresso and a newspaper, tears rolled down my cheeks, as I read of the incredible courage of your countrymen and women.
Despite the all to real threat of further attacks, I read and saw photos of millions of Spaniards taking to the streets, telling the world, and the terrorists in particular (whoever they were), that SPAIN WILL NOT STAND FOR ANOTHER ATTACK. No matter what your government or police or security forces will do about this, your citizens made a bold and brave statement that won't be forgotten.
I know you are grieving right now, Carlos, but you can certainly hold your head high, that you are a Spaniard today.
thank you, frank

[EMAIL PROTECTED] escribi�:To Carlos and our other Spanish pdml readers, we send you our sympathy and condolences. None of these people deserved to have their lives cut short by the whim of some zealots. Frank said it well in a previous post.
Regards, Bob S.
Thanks again to all who have expressed their solidarity and condolences to the people of Spain. I am not from Madrid, but more than 11.000.000 Spaniards took the streets all over the country yesterday to show our unity against terrorism.
Thanks for your thoughts for the families and the injured (more than 1.400), they are the ones who need all the possible support from everybody, now and in future. I can't say how grateful I am.
Your simpathy is enormously appreciated, much more when we see that our government is concealing information about who are the responsible for the bombings and are trying to divert attention towards ETA (who are as despisable as the ones who performed the attacks, but this time they are not behind this carnage), because we have an election tomorrow and those liars want to keep power at all costs.
