Terror rears head in Madrid
(03/22/04 5:00am)
On Thursday, March 11 I awoke to yet another excruciatingly painful sight on television in the Madrid train bombings: the senseless slaughter of innocent people, sobbing mothers, cries of children, and Spaniards of all walks of life trying to come to grips with what had just happened to them. Everyone seemed to react differently - some were too emotional to speak, some seemed shell-shocked and grief-stricken, and others stoic and defiant in the face of terrorism.
