Nice graphic, but Spain has already signaled surrender by voting in the socialists.

Very nice, but I say that nostalgically, as the Spanish just gave up.

Too late. To Spain, after their just announced withdrawal from from the coalition in Iraq - "Don't let the door hit you on the way out!".

Too late. They've already surrendered.

Al Qaeda has now helped remove a government with just a few idiots and their bombs.

The violence will continue until the intellegentia, and the rest of the left, discover that the Islamists are just ruthless, and can only be stopped by overpowering ruthlessness on our part.

They won't go away. They won't stop their ruthlessness just because we give in to a few demands. Observe Yasir Arafat.

Spain surrendered.

I refuse to believe that, if they hit us again, before the election, the American public will surrender with a vote for Kerry, like Spain did with a vote for the socialists.

Spain has pissed on its own dead.... and ours. Cobardes de Espana

Spaniards used to be made of sterner stuff. Goodbye Cortez and Pizarro. Hello, Chamberlain.

Se han dado por vencido!

Great artwork!

Sad for Spain that they couldn't live up to it.

[Mr. Silverback]

I knew in my heart that Spain was going to cave when I saw that a large percentage of the Spaniards gathering in the streets to mourn had "PAZ" signs. How many people in the US (or even liberel NYC) made a plea for peace as their first reaction to 9/11? One percent? Two? I saw a documentary featuring footage filmmakers who lived in lower Manhattan shot in the week of 9/11-9/18. In three hours of footage, there were two expressions of "give peace a chance" and many, many expressions that we were not going to give up, no matter what, and almost as many fervent expressions of the hope that our armed forces would land on these guys like a ton of bricks. Spain's reaction to less shock, fewer deaths and less sophistication on the part of the terrorists was to run to the streets and sue for peace.

I'm not ashamed to say I nearly broke down and wept when I heard the news of the Socialist victory. Spain will pay for their weakness and short-sightedness; the alligator will not eat them last. They have sent the message to Al-Qaida: "If you want us to do something, kill a few of us. We will comply immediately, and blame your murderous acts on those of us who tried to end your evil." Not even a mind as blinded to truth as bin Laden's could fail to see the easy advantage to be gained here.

Too late. It turns out that Red was an appropriate color choice for the Spanish end of the ribbon, although Yellow might have been even better.

[atomicpossum]

The Spaniards have donned the Dunce Cap of Mourning and let hysteria lead them down a course to oblivion.
