A woman hold a banner reading 'Could this picture have cost 200 deaths?' during a
silent march through central Barcelona March 12, 2004. Traumatized Spaniards
voted in droves in a general election thrown wide open by a new claim that al Qaeda
rather than Basque separatists was behind the Madrid train bombs that killed 200
people last week. (Albert Gea/Reuters)

I guess there are stupid people in europe too....

[Eric in the Ozarks]

If we learn nothing else, its to not stand in the way of a surrendering Spainard.

[proud American in Canada]

Unfortunately, the election results will likely cost many more lives.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

I don't know... But your sign and your vote will likely cause thousands more.

[CygnusXI]

Hmmmm..
You think her pits are shaved, or unshaved?

[BibChr]

Bingo.

[Travis McGee]

This is like blaming "Polish provocations" for WW2.

It's sick and pathetic.

The interesting thing is that thespanish people will expect their new government to protect them and bring the perps to justice. I'm not sure that we can predict how this will go. We all assume appeasement, but it is possible that it will go some other way.

For example is perceived by us to be white flag wavers, but they have ticked off the Muslims by banning head scarfs in school. For the Talliwackers, that is as bad as anything america has done. Maybe worse.

At some point Europe will notice that black ants do not negotiate.

For example France...

And of course... when they are in the middle of a revolution to regain their freedom..they will ask us to come help them....

[oolatec]

I wonder who they will blame when they are attacked after they pull their troops out of Iraq, release all the Al Qaeda operatives they have in jail, speak Arabic, and convert to Islam...

Can anybody read (and translate) the small print on her sign?

[FITZ]

She's hoping to make her new sheikh very pleased --- the beatings won't be as bad that way.

[BikePacker]

Whenever I see "useful idiots" such as these, I have this overwhelming desire to knock them down, and take a ball bat to their empty skulls.

I know... it's terrible to have such violent thoughts, but it's a visceral reaction, and just barely within my control.

[OXENinFLA]

Did you hear John Gibson's 'My word' yesterday????

[Lexington Green]

The reign in Spain was picked by the insane.

I don't want to know. Keep 'em covered up, lady.

[xsmommy]

no more lies, no more deaths, no more wars.

The bill came due today but it's not Spain that got it. France got the bill for spanish capitulation in the form of demands that the headscarf ban is dropped.
