Well, I've been arguing that the terrorists weren't politically savvy when they assumed that an outrageous act wouldn't simply be seen as outrageous and followed by an appropriate resolves. But apparently England's "lion logic" was lost on Spain, which just allowed itself to be bullied into submission by the terrorists. How in the world do you come to the conclusion that your own government is more responsible for terrorism than the terrorists themselves, I wonder? Anyway, Spain has decided to go the kitten route, which will probably increase, rather than diminish, terrorist attacks in Europe. They now know that continental European populations can be bullied and threatened.
And no doubt much of the blame for this sheep-like attitude lies with the the consistently pro-green anti-American press. What a sell-out!

Al qaida has commanded all its units on the continent to stand down, and wait to see what the new spanish ultra-tenor government does with regard to matters of interest to alqaida, including presumably Iraq. And they all said that alqaida had nothing to do with Iraq. Seems they were wrong.
