Madrid, Spain



To all of you, the owners of the thirteen pairs of hands that carried the bombs today:



When you carried your little surprises into the train station, did you brush against people, stand close behind someone and smell the perfume of their hair? Did you wonder if they would be blown up soon by your little surprise or if they would be on a "safe" train? Did that thought excite you or give you pause at all?



When you hid your packages on the trains, did you look up and see someone looking at you? Did you smile and say good morning? Did you make a silly comment about the weather? And did it for one moment give you pause in what you were doing? Did you look people in the eye and know this: you will be dead in an hour and I will be responsible for that? Did you, just for ONE short hiccup, think that this was wrong, WRONG!
