Many in the US felt that way after the bombing in Madrid, that 3/11 would be Europe's 9/11, that finally Europeans would understand what we are going through. I think that with 9-11, much of the world hoped that the US would understand what they had all gone through, and develop some empathy for what it feels like to be attacked. Instead, the Bush Regime response was to go on bombing raids of Iraq (who had NOTHING to do with 9-11) based upon lies and misinformation. Is it possible that the Madrid bombing did remind the Spaniards of what we had gone through, and they decided to take a different (and some would argue more "evolved") approach? Besides, it's been reported that the Spanish people were over 90% opposed to the illegal war in Iraq. Isn't their pulling out a good example of Democracy at work? In Bali, they had a horrible bombing. The Balinese responded by capturing the bomber, but also by trying to understand where the hatred came from. Then again, Bali is not the U.S.A... I await your angry response! :)
