The last time Mr Ahern the most well known proxy of Mr Bush (2) and I had an opportunity to meet was 2001. Mr Ahern came with a few of his pals the little rascals to visit my beloved city of Barcelona. He came to attend the European summit of Heads of State. Over a two week period over two million people attended the meeting and decided joint policy for Europe. We started with a big march against the Spanish state water policy that spells disaster for the Ebro valley. About five hundred thousand attended the assembly and walked through the city. Mr Ahern didn´t show up, neither did Mr Aznar. We didn´t miss them. The following saturday three thousand attended the recuperem els carrers assembly to replace cars with fun and dance. Mr Ahern did not attend nor did Mr Aznar. The subsequent week we decided to continue with our meetings on a daily basis and finally three hundred and fifty thousand of us walked through the city asking for change.
Mr Aznar and Mr Ahern entered a high security building to the outskirts of the city behind a wall which had been placed on the diaganol. The diaganol is a diaganol street which transverses my beloved city cutting through the grid city which was built in the nineteenth century. Franco entered Barcelona with his soldiers on the 20th of November coming down the diaganol. Within weeks he had most libetarians shot at the walls of the cathedral. Mr Ahern followed Franco´s route into our beloved city. He travelled in a black luxury type car. He didn´t meet anyone of any interest. No libertarians attended the meeting behind the wall.
The most moving assembly I saw in those two weeks that two million people chose to express their hope and will and mandate for the future of my beloved city and continent was very small only thirty people. These thirty people carried photographs of the missing democracy protesters of China. They carried their photographs in slow and deliberate procession, step by step, minute by solemn minute from the statue of Columbus who returned from the Americas to explain the loss of a ship and present indiginous slaves to the queen of Spain at Barcelona in 1495 to the start of the diaganol.
It took them five hour to make the journey.
with tears.
I have never seen anything more moving.
I have seen the mothers of Mayo Square with the photographs of their missing, and indeed they were present when Ahern and Aznar and Burlosconi and Blair were behind a wall on the diaganol, but they moved me when I was a child.
When first I saw their faces and strength upon an irish television screen.
the point?

They are in a cage.
We are the truly free.
how do we tell them that?
