Despite my opposition to the war, I think this is a sinister precedent, which shows terrorists that they can affect the outcome of an election with an act of terror. I think that pulling troops from Iraq is a mistake on the part of the Spaniards.

Al, I agree with you that Spain's pullout is disturbing but not unexpected. In any case, their involvement in Iraq was symbolic with only 1500 troops.

The question is how do you extricate yourself from a mess? The terrorists are not going to stop until we are out of the ME........to pretend otherwise is foolhardy. So do you do like Israel.......slug it out year after year with neither side getting anywhere?

There are no easy answers. Bush opened a pandora's box by making this 'bold' move into Iraq. And I'll tell you.....the questionable people in his administration don't know how to get us out of this mess.
