I really feel for the conservative people in Spain. They are very much like the conservatives in America - we don't have much clout.

Respectfully you are wrong. Conservative in the USA have MORE clout. We are now able to speak ideals openly where 10 years ago PC was imposed silence. Now the DESPERATION of the left has lead them into the courts BECAUSE of their lack of clout.

Al Queda attacked spain because they were viewed as WEAK and because of what happed 500 years ago.

Don't look only at spain, Earlier this month Greece elected a conservatvie government with a comfortable majority. Italy is also moving to the conservative.

You also have to look at the parlamentary nature of the governments and the representative fomulas they use.

Why is kerry so wacko? What was the democrat primary goal in a candidate? character? liberalism? answer:EEElectability. Not the words of those with clout. In fact, just the opposite. Demcrats are dying as a party and they know it.
