I think the PM is gone, but the Spanish have faced the Muslims before and won, hopefully Blockbuster has copies of "El Cid." I think they will boot the PM but be ferocious in punishing Muslim extremists, including those in Iraq.

"MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's interior minister said a suspect van had been found on Thursday near Madrid, scene of bombings that killed 190 people, containing seven detonators and a tape in Arabic language.

Interior Minister Angel Acebes said the tape had recordings of verses from the Koran.

Spain has so far attributed the attack to Basque separatists, but Acebes' remarks appeared to raise the possibility of a link to Islamist militants."

The possibility of a link? No kidding.

<<I am curious on how you think spanish folks who were opposed to iraq war, will respond to this attack, if proved to be al quaeda driven?>>

A lot of that will depend on how the US reacts. We need to support Spain in every way we can.
