I have to concur. If this works out that a train bombing in Madrid can completely alter Spanish foreign policy...then get ready for a wild summer in Europe.

This result sends exactly the wrong message, "Attack us, and we will run away-Spain"

If I were Blair I'd be ramping up internal security.....cause AQ now knows it works.

I am quite sympathetic right now for those conservative nationalists in Spain who wanted to stand behind their government and stand behind the United States, but their countrymen have seen to it that cowardice and appeasement should be the first priority. I don't just suppose attacks like this will occur again in Europe, I expect them to, because now AQ knows they can hold Europe by the nuts and twist whenever they want.
