| Sumario: | This article reports that on March 11, 2005 over a million people will march to Atocha railway station in Madrid, Spain to commemorate the 191 people who died in the bomb attacks of 2004. And in the three days before the anniversary the city will be hosting a gathering of current and former world leaders, academics, policy wonks, journalists, NGO representatives and others, there to discuss and agree on the Madrid Agenda, a set of principles and practices which democracies can adopt in order to counter terrorism. The International Summit on Democracy, Terrorism and Security is being organised by the Club de Madrid, a group of former world leaders. The organisers are aware that they must come up with proposals that can command popular support, ideas that the rest of the world sees as making sense.
