I know it's a morbid thought, but maybe they'll realize it themselves sometime after the next few attacks.
Our nation showed resolve and got united (well, most of us) when we got hit hard; they took to the streets with massive protests and with a pinch of unrest. The US isn't a push-over anymore. Europe has proven it is. The path of least resistance is usually the one most taken, especially with terrorist organizations like AQ desperate to get back on the map. They're the bullseye right now.

I think they will realize it. But I'm not sure they have any options to deal with it. I don't recall whether Spain's system permits votes of no confidence, etc.
Of course, the option of all of them will be to come running to us. And then again, maybe some of them will actually stand up and fight (after the first few bombings).

I went to the BBC's Talking Point section. Already they're gloating over how they've "chosen peace". Fricken' morons....This is what I sent, although I know they'll never post it-uncensored, at least:
Muslem terrorists do not maim and kill because of Iraq, or Israel, or any of the other "rational" geopolitical motives eurowimps trot out : They do so because their "holy" book COMMANDS them not to stop until the entire world is muslem, or at least, under muslem domination. The victory of the socialist party in Spain today will embolden the terrorists : They will interpret it as proof that Europeans are willing to submit to dhimmitude . Already, immigrant communities in various EU countries have demanded self rule and exemption from their host countries laws, including the right to inflict torture, mutilation, and death. They now know that a few bombs will make their hosts capitulate. And as soon as the European hosts countries grant self rule, they will demand more. Look at what's happening in Nigeria for your futures-sharia inflicted even upon nonmuslems, nonmuslems killed, forcibly converted.... The children of today's Europeans will be human livestock.

Yeah, as though the terrorists are going to suddenly reform because the the Spanish "protested" terrorism. What a sad, ironic, non-humorous joke. Those protests followed by today's vote are pure cowardic, plain, blunt and simple. What terrifies me is that there are tens of millions of Americans who will vote to go down that same path come November.
If we on the right side of the political spectrum don't unite and fight for Bush-Cheney like our lives, the lives of our families, and our nation depend on it, we will lose this world war the radical Islamists started.
