The political fallout from the March 11 train bombings in Spain taught al-Qaida that an attack timed to an election can have a major impact.

My bet is that IF they tried that here, before the election, it would create a landslide and a mandate for President Bush to retaliate. The ragheads would be very surprised that the US electorate doesn't cower like Spain's.

(Whether we WOULD retaliate is another story...)

I hope you and others who share your opinion are correct, and that my cynicism is misplaced. More than that, I hope we never have to find out either way.

"it would create a landslide and a mandate for President Bush to retaliate."

Agreed again, but do you foresee any sentiment for appeasement--other than from the Bush haters, of course.
