The conservative candidate of Aznar’s party lost because the vast majority of the Spaniards was simply against any involvement of their country in Iraq.

The reaction on the bombing was only a confirmation of the already existing denial. It never pays out for politicians in countries with democratic elections to ignore the will of their voters. BTW - this is the reason why Merkel i.e. is extremely reluctant concerning Iraq. If she would do something substancial for America there, her gouvernment would be blown into pieces since the German public does not want the German gouvernment to be involved into this issue.

Same thing in Spain. The bombing was simply the trigger that released a wave of a broad disaffection with Aznar because of Iraq. ETA or al Quaida? That was irrelevant.

So what are doing our troops in Lebanon? And in Afganistan?

A broad disaffection that was not shown in the polls. That comment is simply a manipulation. The aim of the attack was to frighten the Spanish population to avoid Aznar being reelected, not to "release a wave of broad dissaffection" previously hidden. That is mockery to the victims that show what is your moral position before killings in neighbouring countries that remove obstacles to the achievement of your plan of uniting Europe.

ETA or al Quaida? That was irrelevant.

It is not since ETA is based in France, and the French government of Chirac and other governments such the German, British and Italian obtained a great advantage from 3/11.

Atlantic Bridge, I don't want to think that you might in some way justify killings in order to removing obstacles in your plan of uniting Europe. I haven't freely brought the past into the discussion before and with all respect and just pointing out a fact, check that such stance would be close to the one Germans had in 1939.

With no respect for life, as you show, there will be no Europe. Believe me.
