Blame Spain for the Next Terror Attack

                                                              When the next bomb goes off--perhaps this time in Poland--the families of the dead should blame the people in Spain who voted to run from terrorists and cower before them, instead of standing strong against them.     

    Sound cruel?  Perhaps, but it's the sad truth.  The majority of Spaniards decided to follow the illogical path of blaming their president for the attack in Madrid instead of the people who actually carried out mass murder.  In doing so, they handed the butchers a victory.  Terrorism and murder have been handsomely rewarded this day.

       When word broke about the vicious attack in Madrid--killing 200 and severely injuring over a thousand broke--I had overwhelming sympathy for the Spanish people.  I no longer have.  That sounds horrible, but by taking the cowards' path, they have given permission to al Qaeda or any other terrorist group to run amok across Europe and elsewhere to ''punish'' anyone who dares defy them.  The terrorists must be giddy with joy over their success. They have been handed an entire country for a relatively inexpensive attack.  

     My guess is the new socialist president will pull the Spanish troops out of Iraq.  After all, to leave them there would be a sign of defiance and he will not want the terrorists thinking there is any fight left in them.  Total and complete capitulation is what the people have chosen.  Appeasement, the European way, is the road they will now go down.  I will have no sympathy for them from this point forward.   

     What is mystifying about all this is that Europe never seems to learn from the past.   Over and over again there are examples of appeasement that have failed, often leading to terrible wars where millions have died.  Yet, once again, these Europeans seem willing to give it just one more try.  Maybe THIS time, it will work.  But it won't.  I have no faith in the people of Old Europe ever learning from their mistakes.  Instead, they have come to rely on the Americans to come and save them from their own ignorance.  I'm beginning to wonder if we should bother.   

     Neville Chamberlain, perhaps the most famous appeaser, came home with a paper he said would keep England safe from Hitler.  The British people could sleep well now, knowing that he had removed the threat. 

But Tony Blair did not want to become England's modern-day Chamberlain.  He knew you could not deal with or appease these terrorists, but the majority of British people don't feel that way.  Come election time, Blair may well find himself suffering the same fate as Winston Churchill.  This will be another victory for the likes of bin Laden.

Barbara lays it all out very plainly for even blind leftists to see.

In fact, there is a new term IMO we should start applying immediately to these new Iberian appeasement Socialist cowards:

"Vichy España"

When the next bomb goes off--perhaps this time in Poland France

She pretty much stated it they way I feel about it.

[DB]

Why bomb the French, that would be counter productive at this point.

Divide and conquer.

France will be later after the dividing is complete.

"Barbara lays it all out very plainly for even blind leftists to see."

They'll return their Socialist battle cry, "US EMPIRIAL WARMONGERS!" To top it all off, we'll bail them out.

an angry ping.

Poland is with us, so we'd shed tears. France? Well I'll sleep soundly then and wait for the phone call at the white house...Mr. Bush, please help. *click - dial tone*

a ping in prayer.
an angry ping
a ping in preparation.

See? We can agree on some things. Good post.

" If Americans must fight this war alone, then so be it. I will have neither respect nor sympathy for those who will pay the price of trying to bargain with the devil. "

She should be quoted often, and loudly.

[endthematrix]

Yeah, I'll also admit I think Texas is great State! I'm growing weary of politics in Illinois. I vowed to leave after the despot came here and now I'm looking Dixie.

How can so many people be so stupid at on time together?

Is Barbra Stock a pseudonym for Ann Coulter? Her style is almost as blunt as Coulter's.

And, like Ann, Stock is dead on target in this article. It may sound harsh, but Spain's surrender on Sunday gave al Qaeda the victory they have been unable to achieve in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Sad.

[LaGrone]

The Spainards by their actions have destroyed untold numbers of innocent lives. Another scary thought is that close to half of our own population feels the same way as the cowards in Spain.

Time to move the rock of Gibraltor to another country!

Why bomb the French, that would be counter productive at this point.

Because AQ is in a hurry, and they want to get a Western state to take capitulation to the next level before we bust a cap on UBL's sorry ass, that's why.

They consistently overestimate what is possible, and I bet they think their legions of orcs in la Defense and other Islamic cesspools can take the state with the right kind of help.

She states my POV perfectly.......it looks like the Euros never learn....the fools tried to appease Hitler.

Now all the terrorist have to do is stage an attack before any election & then celebrate the 'surrender'!

But in the end they will still be overrun by the 'barbarians at their gate'!

Steyn said it best:

"You can join Bush in taking the war to the terrorists, to their redoubts and sponsoring regimes............"

"Or you can stick your head in the sand and paint a burqa on your butt. But they'll blow it up anyway."

Thanks for the ping!
