As you might know recently we had 2 terrorist attacks in Moscow metro.
Actually I have to say, that I wasn't surprised at all and I feel sorry for it. And I guess lots of people were not surprised either, which explains that there was no panic in the bombed stations, people started to help those injured immediately. And not so many people refused using metro in their everyday life, as it's the only way to get to work/university/school.
I guess people here in Moscow become more of fatalists, i.e. you never know what may happen to you next second, but you have to do your best to keep living now.
I'm really sorry for those people killed, as well as for those who were killed in car accidents (a famous actor and a prominent doctor passed away recently).
They showed the photos of the girls, those suicide bombers. I have to say, they look very young and kind. As they say on TV, they were around 17 years old and they were wives of the killed terrorists. I hate to think about what you have to do to people to make them kill other and themselves.
Again there'll be an increase of distrust towards people from the North Caucasus, like after previous terrorist attacks. I understand that there are many good people in those republics and I hate thinking that there're terrorists among them. And I hate being suspecious about who is going in the same car in metro with me.
I had been concerned with your condition because I could not see your new article after the terrible incidents. But, I felt relieved.
ReplyDeleteI have learned the terrorism and "black widow" through reading newspaper in Japanese and VOA Special English program. These are very sad things.
Conflicts on religious, ethnic problems have always happened around the world. But "hate" leads "another hate", I think. Human being should become wiser, but they could not, even though the technology has developed very much.
bike-san, thank you very much for your concern. Indeed, you're right. People should have become wider long ago. Still they haven't. Anyway, we have to keep on going.
