But I am confident that the new Spanish government will prosecute terrorists as much as the old one, with the one exception of a different opinion on Iraq.

I think you are probably right.

But that's not the point. The point is that the bad guys got an enormous victory from that election, symbolic, at least. Today they are full of themselves. They smell victory. They have recruits on boats, planes, trains, and camels rushing to sign up and money pouring in.

Which means that the new Spanish government and everyone else will have a whole lot more terrorism to prosecute than they would have had the outcome of the election been different or had the new PM at least tried to distance his win from al Qaeda's win so as to diminish the symbolic victory.
