Yesterday I participated in a demonstration in Madrid in support of the victims of terrorism. They demand to know the whole story behind the March 11th terrorist attacks and they reject the government’s rendition to ETA.
Killing may be justified in a war or if you are living under a repressive dictatorship but it is my understanding that Spain is a democracy. In a democracy you elect your political representatives and you express your opinion at the voting booth.
The easiest way to resolve an important decision like going to war, getting out of a war or allowing a section of the country to become independent is to hold a referendum.
But if you kill someone in a democracy, for whatever reason, you will be captured, tried, convicted and sentenced to pay for your crime.
