That's wonderful news. Again, I am greatly encouraged by events, as I have been for several months. Regime Change boots out the warmongers in Spain, with the crowds shouting "Liars" at them. The NeoCons are learning how to compromise, reducing their goals, being forced from one fallback position to the next. Sistani has replaced Bremer, as the most powerful person in Iraq. All going our way.

<<<Anger Over Attack Puts Spain's Socialists in Power>>>

So the Spanish attitude is that the terrorist attack originated from the US war on Al Queda?

And Al Queda says that anyone who helps the US will be attacked.

And that makes Al Queda the most powerful and feared organization in existence. They will attack anyone, anywhere ,without warning.

Even the US cannot do that without negotiations, without following some rules of combat.

Perhaps we should find OBL, negotiate, ask him what he wants ( Pakistan, $20 bil and all non-muslims dead).

Of course we say it will take time to convert, especially for the Catholics.

So we just forcibly convert , by government proclamation, the US workers in the ME and then they could stay.

Does anyone think he would buy that?

The we could send in a UN inspection team, check OBL's records, and track down all the people and cells he has
trained and sent around the world.

"Anger Over Attack Puts Spain's Socialists in Power"

There are pouring in news, that in fact, many Spaniards have been very angry because of the diffamation politics by the governemnt.
Its' almost ironic, that in a moment, when Spain was united in mourning, Aznar desperately tried to blame separatistic Spaniards (the ETA and separatistic Basques) for the crime.

Now it looks like the terrorist have been sucessful in blackmailing a country. But remember, 90% of the population didn't want Spain to participate in the neoclonoalistic adventure in Iraq. So by willfully overruling the clear will of the people, Spain is in a great mess, evoked by a serie of lies and manipulations.

Iraq id going to be the worst blunder in the true fight against terror. Oh, what a mess!
Instead of uniting countries and people for the war aigainst terror, those NeoCon leaders are foremost dividers.

And they exactly knew what's at stake:
"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."
George W. Bush

And still the NeoCon guys have been spreading hatred against those who knew how high the risk of a failure would be.
Political/business agenda was more important than the fight against terror.
Let's get rid of them.
