A month before I flew to Madrid (in 2007), the parking structure of the city's main airport Madrid-Barajas was bombed. If I remember correctly, there were more than a dozen casualties and numerous people suffered major injuries. Needless to say, it scared the shit out of me! But I didn't let it stop me from going over there.
Yesterday the US Embassy in Istanbul was the subject of a terrorist attack. The terrorists were unsuccessful but it's been reported that 6 people died during the gun battle. Now I'm scheduled to go to Istanbul in like 6 months and this stuff is scaring the hell out of me. But I won't let things like this stop me from getting on with my life. If I do, then the terrorists will win. After all, casting terror is their main objective.
