Re: [microsound] London project and the media

["Zander.Nord" <zander.nord@xxxxxxx>]

It is important to realize that to those in government, especially  
those in charge of government policy, the dead and maimed innocents  
on the streets of London and Madrid and New York are "collateral  
damage", just as are those on the streets of Baghdad and Fallujah and  
Kabul.  The spanish people were confronted with a terrorist atrocity  
in the form of the attack on Madrid last year, they reacted by  
throwing out of office the politicians whose policies had exposed  
them to the danger in the first place.
