from jackie Monday, March 15, 2004 - 20:52 (Agree/Disagree?) Thanks for the support given, it really is a hard time and as the days pass it settles in a bit more and is even harder. The elections in Spain were held yesterday and it seems that at the end it was a revenge for supporting the US. It seems that politics realy should take a lower seat at the time but that never really happends. This morning one more victim died in madrid bringing it up to 201 and there is still more then 40 people in critical state. It is very hard to know that one decision can change so much. Once again thanks to all. (reply to this comment)

from anovagrrl Monday, March 15, 2004 - 17:19 (Agree/Disagree?) I'm so sorry to hear about the death of your friend and her unborn child. It must be unnerving to realize how you narrowly escaped a similar fate. Thanks for sharing your story--it makes the news more immediate and personal. I feel a tremendous sadness about what happened in Spain. I couldn't figure out what the terrorists hoped to accomplish until I heard the news today that the Spanish just voted in a new government. That possibility was never discussed in the U.S. news accounts of the bombing. Any other perspectives you care to give on surviving the blast would be welcome. (reply to this comment)

from Spat Saturday, March 13, 2004 - 20:06 (Agree/Disagree?) Words seem to fall short in times like this Jackie, I hope they find those bastards and give them a taste of their own medicine. I wish Madrid and Spain can become whole again soon, and that by doing so they can be a screaming testimony to these beast that terror tactics will not destroy our civilization. My respect for everyone in Spain at these perilous times (reply to this comment)
