I can smell sarcasm from North America.

Of course it got bigger attention after Madrid's bombings, but it always had been a security program here, called 'Plan Vigipirate' since summer '95.
And yes, police/special forces are working. They have been since '95 and that permitted to arrest 55 members of Al-Quaeda and prevent one major bombing and an attack against the US ambassy in Paris. But that won't impress the smug US, will it.
I don't know, maybe we should pick a country, say that there are WMD and attack it, to prove to the US that we are against terrorism.

Now that I said what I had to say...

I'm actually scared. I'm scared that they're going to place a bomb in a train again. We had been living this situation already with the bombings in '95 and I almost lost a member of my family in those bombings . The line that was bombed is the one I've been taking every freaking day for the past 10 years. And so do my father and my sister. It's the most busiest line so it's a perfect target.
But you know what? I'm not gonna stay at home. I'm gonna go to work and school, as I usually do, even if I'm scared. And that's courage. Can you hear that, all the people who've been criticizing Europe for 'giving in' and 'bowing'? We're not gonna change our way of living because of terrorists, and that's a fight already.

So I don't need anyone to ask me to prove that France or Spain or any other country in Europe has been fighting against terrorism, just because we didn't agree on Iraq. We are fighting the best we can, that's all I know. And if it's not enough for the US and all the Bush-supporters, then I don't give a rat's arse about it.
