No, c2. They wanted Aznar's party out, they got it out.

No, Nadine, your line of thinking does not take into account the possibility that the PP might have won if it had handled the aftermath of the bombings differently.

It's quite possible that AQ simply got lucky. It clearly could not have anticipated Aznar's botched handling of the incident.

I would love to see some statistical analysis showing how many voters changed their minds because of Aznar's misstep as opposed to the number who changed their minds in order to "appease" AQ by forcing a change in the Government's stance on Iraq. Until I see it, I know for a fact that a substantial number, perhaps enough to change the results in a dead-heat election, changed their minds because of the handling of the incident.

The Spanish are not going to appease AQ; they are going to hunt them down like dogs, just like the French and the Germans are doing.

No, they're appeasers because they are still clinging to the notion that the terrorists are not their enemy, only the enemy of America & the Joooooooos.

Seems to me that killing Germans in Tunisia (or was it Morocco?) and Spaniards disproves that point as does the botched plot to strike the Eiffel Tower.
