>>Otherwise, I think it is a mistake to respond to an attack like that. << it's been said, several times already I'd say, but I'll say it again nevertheless. If the terrorists think they succeeded, they got it wrong (and so does anybody thinking along these lines). Aznar got his pay bonus for tilting the table towards ETA and for going against the will of the haegemon, ie Spanish nation, on the subject of Iraq and the "coalition of the willing".

That the coalition of the willing looks less willing after the elections is unimportant to Spanish. Their stand on terror, whatever couleur, is unchanged and now has the official seal of elections. Actually they voted the politicians to focus on the job. And that's a success, but it's a success against and not for the terror.
