I was wondering about that too. But it should be noted that the 11 million marchers were not gathered in a single place; it was occuring around the country. Madrid had about 2.3 million marchers, Barcelona had 1.5 million.

I never saw an aggregated estimate for U.S. rallies after 9/11, but surely it must have been in the millions too.

The Spanish may show the world how to really fight terrorism again. They did it once some 14 centuries ago.

11 million take to the streets to protest terrorism. That is a loud message.
