I think that Al Qaeda learned from Spain a HUGE lesson and that before US election Al Qaeda will hit again USA, to favour Kerry election as US President. Observing from the other bank of Atlantic Ocean: Europe yet didn't realize that a crucial option has been reached: not having unity and a common strategy, the only choice remained now is to became a US colony or to fall in the hands of Islamic rulers. The culture of freedom and independence has left Europe long time ago. If fought today, Lepanto would be a Islam victory. The only ally of USA that is still fighting the same battle is Israel.
