I was out of the country for much of the last ten days and encountered a well educated, articulate, accomplished Canadian who offered the opinion that "a beautiful thing" happened last week in Spain. She meant the socialist win at the polls but she acknowledged that it took over 200 innocents dying at the hands of the terrorists to make it happen. She was fine with that. I guess it comes under the heading of collateral damage.
It was a business trip but my wife was along(she was blocks from GZ on 9.11 and knows the score). She had never encountered a true communist, the kind I rail against all the time. She was shocked speechless.
