Terror in London

As the people in London said... it was inevitable. This was going to happen eventually. Al Qaeda had already taken its vengeance to Australia and to Spain. The only ally left was England (or Great Britain). And today, July 7 it happened. Though we are still waiting for confirmation that Al Qaeda is responsible, there have already been deaths after the terrorist attacks.

They happened this morning as four bombs exploded. Three of them exploded in the famous London "Underground" and the last one in an also famous double decker bus. You can read the full news article in Spanish here:

To sum it up: 37 dead, 700 wounded that leaves a city and a nation in chaos. Thousands, if not millions, of tears and that dreaded feeling of uncertainty, specially after mobile services stopped working in London. Service on the "Underground" was also suspended and people had to walk home or search for their loved ones by feet.

I can't really say anything more that our President, Vicente Fox or the rest of the world's leaders have already said. I express my deepest and most sincere regrets to the English people, specially those who lost their lives today or are suffering because of the attacks. I also must express my condemnation to these terrorist attacks that don't distinguish between military and civilians, women or children.

Honestly: I'm sick and tired of this.

I'm sick and tired of the intolerance, the lack of respect and the violence. And I'm not just talking about these terrorist attacks. I am also talking about the hatred that's shown toward the muslim people. I'm also talking about the clear agression to them and others around the world by the US. I also speak about the lack of comprehension and tolerance between religions.

We must ask our neighbour, the US, to stop following a foreign policy that emphasizes aggression and the lack of respect to other countries and worldwide organizations. Lets ask them to play fair and to allow the Middle East to develop in the fashion that their own people have decide. Lets ask them to play fair and make business with these countries just like everyone else in the world does - without invading or threatening them. They will find that in respecting others, others will respect them too. If they continue like this, they will only continue to put their citizens in danger.

For those of us in the rest of the world or living outside our countries, we must remind our own governments that respect and not aggression and greed, will make our world better and safer.
