If we could skip some dates from the calendar, undoubtedly the list will begin with September 11, 2001. Now we may add March 11, 2004. For what we saw just a few days ago happening in Madrid was the demonstration of the pure evil, its joy to make people suffer and die, to turn hundreds of people into dead corpses, people that could still breath, enjoy the life, be happy and make the others happy.

Since Hitler the world has seen so much blood and so few examples of such pure evil. The blood was pouring in tons, but was anyone happy to see his enemy bleeding? Perhaps Rousseau is right saying that humans, together with many other animals, have the intrinsic ability to suffer seeing the other of their species suffering. This natural ability, called compassion, makes us suffer when we see the strong hitting the weak, makes us feel a guilt when we learn that next to us an evil has been done and that we could had made a difference if we only knew what was happening.

But some of us hide a darker side of their nature and what happened on 9/11 and 3/11 is the expression of this hidden nature. To kill, to make suffer, to destroy what the others did, that is their ultimate goal, not just a necessary by-product of their actions. There were no news reports of cheerful people learning about the carnage in Madrid, but undoubtedly they existed somewhere in the world, as we saw among the Palestinians in the hours following 9/11. To feel happy when others of your species suffer is pathology, but to force the others to feel happy using the modern tools of propaganda is a crime, a crime against humanity and against our creator who told us to respect mutually our lives.

March 11 for many Europeans will be a turning point in their lives. So far they lived in a more or less rational world, where everything has to have a corresponding cause. There was terrorism, but it was perceived as nothing more than a political action using extreme means. "Terrorism" and "extremism" in the European vocabulary has often been in the past used as interchangeable words. "Terrorism" was used to force the politicians to change their policy, or to give more rights to some minority. It was always a means. There was no terror for its own sake, for the pure pleasure to see people suffering. If there were some, the magnitudes weren't the same and these individual acts of pure evil passed often as acts of psychopaths. September 11 wasn't enough to change this European ignorance. The minds had to wait until March 11 to be brutally awakened.

In this respect there isn't a big difference if 3/11 was a result of Al-Qaeda, or ETA action or if they have joined their forces in some sort of "terrorist international". The gruesome truth that everyone should realize is that in the mindset of some psychopathic but powerful individuals and their followers all the human race is nothing more than a group of Jews, waiting for their "final solution". In their plans, terrified by what we see, and no doubts by what they still prepare for us to see in the future, we will choose to be enslaved, to give up our freedoms in order to save our lives. Unlike many Jews waiting to be sent for extermination during WWII, we still have a choice to refuse both this horrible death and the infamous enslavement. We still can join our forces and to get rid of these evil masterminds. It sounds perhaps too idealistic, but is there any other option left to us?
