Since it is now looking like AQ, I'll mention the fact that there are 911 days between 9/11/2001 and 3/11/2004 This and 15 bombs ? Criminy.

there are 911 days between 9/11/2001 and 3/11/2004. I get 912. Do you think they forgot it was a leap year?

Why target Spain though? A few reasons:
- Tactical - It's closer to "friendly" territory (both France and Africa)
- Strategic - Spain guards the northern side of the Strait of Gibraltar, the only Western-controlled access point between the Med and the rest of the world (I know, Gibraltar is actually a British possession, but that control is limited to the immediate area)
- History - For several hundred years, Spain was a Muslim territory. The Islamokazis haven't forgotten or forgiven what happened after the Moors were finally ousted.
It's an ambitious play by the Islamokazis

Yes, I'm feeling the draft here in Euroland. Time to button up a bit more.
To: Travis McGee
One thing the Euros are very good at is restricting movement. They have been busily opening borders for a couple decades, but they could revert to jackbooted bureaucratism instantly. A few more such attacks could provoke this and the economic consequences.

Doesn't matter. Either the 9/11 - 3/11 connection or the 911 days are cause for irony and fit with Al Queda's propensity to strike on significant dates/anniversaries.

According to the NY Times, I'm sure the attacks will be because Al Queda was upset about the anti-Semitism in the Passion of the Christ.

And 2 1/2 years to the day day from 9/11.
America 9/11
Spain 3/11
God help us.

Did Hanoi Kerry even release a statement denouncing the terrorist attacks in Madrid today?
To: RightWhale
From what I've been reading on the Basque, they were already there before the Celts or the Romans, and their language was already completely divorced from any other language in the region, seperate and unique unto itself..
The romans called it Aquitanian and there was no written form until the introduction of Latin to the area.
Genetically, the Basque are also seperate and unique..

"And 2 1/2 years to the day day from 9/11."
And there are exactly 911 days between 9/11/2001 and today. A coincidence?
To: Selene
Since it is now looking like AQ, I'll mention the fact that there are 911 days between 9/11/2001 and 3/11/2004. I came up with 912. Those AQ idiots forgot about leap year.

Worse, he made 'em mad. If we would just have left them alone (i.e. let them kill New Yorkers)...

O negatives--that sorta chilled my martini. Dark hair, fair skin--I'm told?
Looks like I'll be reading about the Basques. The assertion about a language unrelated to anything else would be enough to get me going.
Hope that wasn't what they had in mind...
Has the ETA ever denied responsibility, the way they are doing now?

Personally, I think we should bring back crucifixtion - without the nails - it takes longer to die that way. We should crucify these cowardly
b@st@rds along evry roadway where we catch them.
People who blow up innocent women and children and old men -civlians - like these scum are beyond ANY protection of international law. They are below pirates on the food chain.
