Zapatero has options. There are ALWAYS options. He doesn't HAVE to comply with the demands of terrorists. He can choose otherwise. Of course he won't, but that doesn't say that he can't.
Al-Qaeda has asked Spain to withdraw the troops from Afghanistan and nobody in Spain has paid the slightest attention
Possibly an up-and-coming "demand" that AQ will make of Zapatero. "Now, out of Afghanistan or we attack Spain again."
Feh.

I don't care how bad this sounds, but I hope so. Spain (Zapatero, and the cowards that elected him) deserve to be hit at every AQ demand. They caved to AQ and they are going to pay for it until they either get some courage or eventually turn their government over to AQ. I'm afraid it is too late for Spain. That election is going to be the death of spain.
