More on Madrid

173 dead, 711 injured, everyone says ETA, except for (surprise, surprise) Batasuna's leader Arnaldo Otegi who blames everything on Arabs. He points out that ETA has always warned about their terrorist attacks and here there was no warning, but obviously with an attack of such magnitude no terrorist organization, ETA included, would want to admit it, because if tomorrow Spanish government decided to fujimorize or mubarakize all known ETA members the Spanish people (including Basques) will cheer, and they know it.

I am pissed off, by the way. Really, physically pissed off and feel like strangling someone (someone responsible for the bombings, of course). An attack on normal people going to work in the morning on some emotional level feels like a personal attack on myself, be it here or in the USA or in Spain or in South Korea. And the thought of somebody trying to blow me up always makes me feel like killing the guilty party in extremely painful and unprintable way.

Hmm, is that what they call empathy?
