Has the media been playing this up as only a British target? (I've been busy.) It means AQ wouldn't even wait 2 months before they were ready to kill again. And this, after Spain's new President wasted no time getting Spanish Troops out of Iraq when it was demanded of him. His huge act of appeasement only him bought about 5 weeks without attacks. Jeeze, wouldn't you think they would at least just him a couple of months? Now they are targeting Spanish children. Amazing.
Wonder if this plot to kill school kids might be enough to get through the cement thick skulls of liberals, but I sort of doubt it. I think it would actually have to happen first, then they would agree to do something about Al-Qaida, but after about a week they would change their minds and go back to bashing Bush.
Unfortunately, I think you are right. I don't think the media will play this up to much or if they do it will only be the part about the school being British. This is not something people who believe appeasement want to hear - you can't trust a terrorist. People will be shocked.
Didn't I read somewhere here that the new government of Spain is actually sending troopsto Iraq again, double the amount (still pitifully small)?
