After seeing their success in Spain, I think they'll go after the big one next: Britain.

Actually, they'll leave Britain alone for a while, for a couple of reasons. First, the Labour Party isn't up for election for a while. Indeed, the Brits had an election last year.

Second, unlike Spain, Australia, and the US, there is no major party in Britain opposed wholesale to the War on Terror. Indeed, the Tories (the major opposition) are even more hawkish than the Labour Party.

Personally, I see them targeting us next, unless there's quick elections in Italy or Poland (Australia also had elections recently, IIRC).

Britain's last General Election was in 2001. However, the whole of the EU votes in June this year for the European Parliament. I believe that this would include the ten new members, one of which is Poland.

But here's the thing, Spain still doesn't know if Al Qaeda or ETA did this bombing.
