Castro's influence just made a quantum leap with the recent events in Spain, first the bombing, then the response of the electorate there, giving the Socialists way more influence than they deserve. The socialist-Communist activists have been working closer and closer to the Islamofascists, because now they have a common goal: Give the Yanquis a poke in the eye. At one swoop, an ally of the US was co-opted, and a propaganda coup of immense proportions was just landed, with the message, "See what happens when you side with the Americans." South Korea, most of the Old Europe states, close neighbors in the region such as Turkey and Egypt get the cold willies thinking about how the next bullet coming along, they might not dodge.

Al-Qaeda won this last week. Now we have to apply retribution, redoubling in some areas, and forge into new territory elsewhere. Already much of the support that al-Qaeda had enjoyed, then lost, has shifted back to their favor.

Now is not the time to go wobbly.
