While I happen to be one of those who are very unhappy with the former govt's refusal to acknowledge the obvious(it was Islamic terror), I am still outraged by the election result.
The European media thus far has really censored and muted out the view that this result was nothing more than obedience to the terrorists whims. However, a Christian Democrat(conservative) from Germany got on BBC today and said that people obeying Al Qaeda's desire for regime change was unprecedented and can not be allowed to happen again.

Ironic how these same people claim American press is close-minded.

I think I know who you're talking about. Freidbert Pflueger?

He put it pretty aptly when he said that Spain was engaged in the "appeasement of terrorism."

We need to get beyond the them and us, the good guys and the bad guys, and seek a genuinely collective response.

This is just stunning. There are no "bad guys" in the War on Terror?

What happens when the Islamofascists go on trial for the bombing? What happens when they threaten to kill again because of the trial?

What is to prevent them from demanding immediate release of the AlQueda members in prison in Spain now, or else?

The whole vote, to my mind at any rate, was less about terrorism or death or bombings and more about anti-Americanism.

I am sorry for you. I am sorry that the coming demands either tomorrow or next year or in three years will be racheted up higher and higher.

But, then again, who knows. It may be God's way to seeing that Spain has fallen so far away from faithfulness that it has to be brought under a yoke to regain a path.
