Sometimes when you demonstrate cowardice in the face of the enemy by running away, you still wind up getting shot in the back. If, as the press accounts indicate, the explosives were of Spanish origin, then it takes us back to the original ETA-link hypothesis. I doubt that "Mahmoud" and "Abdul" walked into their friendly neighborhood explosives emporium and ordered up a mess of (highly regulated) explosives without some help from the inside.

''The explosives are the same as those used on March 11, but at this moment the investigation is continuing ... to try to determine who is behind it,'' Acebes told reporters in Madrid.

Now that Spain has sent the loud & clear message that ''Terrorism Works'' in Spain, they've created an equal opportunity situation.

So much for appeasement.

One of the first things an enemy will do to a nation is test the will and resolve of the government in power.

Al Queda and the Taliban got GW's answer in short order.

Socialist Spain has already indicated their willingness to surrender. This will get far worse for the Spainiards before it gets better.

Appeasement is a death sentence. It just takes a lot longer and it's much lonelier.

Prayers for our conservative friends in Spain who are reeling from the atrocious cowardice of their leftist liberals.

Old Europe has chosen its new flag design:

Surrender white, with a yellow streak left of center.

The very short sighted view the present as only taking a stand pro or con vis a vis the Iraq War and make decisions based only on that narrow criterium. Spain has fallen into this trap.

Those who are wise and discerning view Iraq as only a small part of the global struggle pitting the forces of good against the forces of evil, with the ultimate outcome determining whether or not civilization as we know it will survive.

Spain has made a decision which is pro-evil and anti-good, whether or not they recognize that fact yet.

[MissEdie]

Yeah - that appeasement thing really worked didn't it.

This could be anybody attempt
When you expose yourself as a coward you become a " free for all " target

[mylife]

Now that it is apparent that Pulling troops out of Iraq is not the solution,
Im sure that the hand wringing liberal crowd will find a 1000 more non violent solutions to terrorism.

So sad, too bad--Spain loses!

[VRWC_minion]

Halliburtin did it of course.

"The explosives are the same as those used on March 11, but at this moment the investigation is continuing ... to try to determine who is behind it," Acebes told reporters in Madrid.

Hard to capitulate if you don't know who you're capitulating to.

Socialists in Spain need to cover themselves in burial shrouds & walk in an orderly manner to the nearest cemetery. Burial is the only thing left for them.

[hosepipe]

Ah!.. SPAIN!... (Eddie Murphy laugh)

[EternalHope]

It's hard to feel sympathy for a coward who has just abandoned you in a fight.
