OK after London´s terrorist attack

I just wanted to let all those of you that were worried after yesterday´s terrorist attack in London that I´m ok. London yesterday was chaos, with the underground network closed down and many buses unable to run, but fortunately I was at my friend's house when it happened. I just hope all of you that were also in London, or have relatives or friends there, are OK as well.

As a "madrileño" from Madrid I know exactly how all people in London and England must feel, so I send you all my condolences and support. At least I´m glad that, unlike what unfortunately happened in Spain, terrorists have not succeded in dividing the major democratic parties after the attack. Davies has said that he's 100% with Blair in the fight against terrorism and that the parliament will stay together on that issue. That´s very important and shows the kind of political maturity that Spain, apparently, lacks.

Terrorists (of all kinds) must know that they will never achieve their goals with bombs and blood and that no democratic government will bend their knees before them or negotiate with them unless they pursue their objectives in a democratic, pacific manner and terminate the attacks.

I'm sure there are people in the the world who still believe that terrorists have honest goals and that they are simply "poor" people attacking "the rich" for the way they treat the "poor" Arab world. Unfortunately I know that the fact that more Arab citizens are murdered by their own governments every year than those killed by any Western country, the fact that most Al Qaeda members come from rich well-established families and the fact that both the Madrid and London attacks took place on public transportation (not in golf clubs or parliament buildings) will do little to open the eyes of these blind people to the real intentions of these murderers. As the Al Qaeda press release says, these people are fighting a holy war and EVERYONE that is not fundamentalist muslim is their target (the recent murder of the Egyptian ambassador to Iraq is another sad proof). But, as we say in Spain, "there's no one more deaf that those who don't want to hear".

Going back to yesterday´s attacks: London and England, we're all with you today, and especially with those who lost dear ones on the attack.
