Bomb in Colombia
Just after being all serious about the Columbia, I read in Bea's about the horrible news from Colombia. A car bomb exploded near a business club, killing 20 and leaving and least 100 wounded.
My brother lives close by. My father has his office close by. I used to walk by that club everyday in my way to where I worked.
This sad country, torn, broken, its hopes trampled by everything from war to depression. Death has become a daily thing, something that numbs the senses and has to be dealt with in an efficient manner: forgetting, denying, hardening.
Life is precious, we used to say. A fundamental right. What is the point of all that rhetoric ? bombs keep killing innocent civilians, the country paying with blood for an addiction that is not its own, for fake ideologies, pain piling upon tragedy.

The sad part, Camilo, is that this happens so often in our country and only when an elite club is attacked the news is broadcasted abroad. Did you read what Mr. Uribe said about the developped countries and their drug consumming being the cause of all this madness? I think he's a little bit of a warmonger himself, but what he said is true.
What is there to do? Pray.
