This NeoCon ally is fully responsible for the "success" of the terrorists. I'm really scared. And of course, all of the ostrich headed nitwits living in their pacifistic fantasy lands are completely with out responsibility, right? Those who are more willing to advance their own "Munich-style" interpretations of Islamic terrorism, seeking to make a deal with these folks, rather than understand the "nature of the beast". Islamic fundamentalists can not be bargained with from a position of fear and weakness. Show it and they will increase their terrorist demands/attacks in order to further their agenda.. Leaders lead.. That's what they are paid to do. And sometimes they must make decisions that are not popular because people think they can pay their enemies off, buying "protection" from their attacks. But this is illogical to the point of foolhardyness. But the pendulum will eventually swing back toward's Aznar and Bush's position as these socialists discover that making a deal with the devil will not save them from that eventual trip to hell. And now the socialists have to contend with the 4% drop in their Madrid index: finance.yahoo.com^smsi&d=c And it might not be just a conspiracy theory that this attack corresponds with what is a multi-year high in the Madrid index. finance.yahoo.com^SMSI&t=2y&l=on&z=m&q=c&c= This attack, combined with fears of socialist "economic engineering" will likely put a big crunch on future economic growth in Spain.. And Zapatero will have to answer to the people as to what plans he has to correct this situation and perception. Hawk
