Over here in the UK, the media is doing it's best to help fuel the flames from the gov't's attempts to use what happened in Madrid to become ever more "vigilant" on all public transport. That's only the beginning. For whatever reasons behind the bombing and the timing of the bombing in Madrid, it certainly had the effect of getting people more scared and paranoid than they were before. This is fertile ground for the governments both in the UK and the US to use towards their "war against terrorism". Bottom line is that the bombers are making an emotional impact, and that will lead towards people jumping on the bandwagon towards more divisive behavior against anyone they deem "suspect", rather than going back and focusing on the whys behind the terrorism...this is my concern.
