Moral of the story, kill people before an election, change the results, watch them run.
I'm sure this sends a message to the terrorists, and I don't think that message is a good one.
This is really pathetic, I can't tell you how pissed off I am about this. Also someone send that asshole the definition of 'unilateral'.

Change results? Bullshit. The election was going to go that way anyway. The country was polling 90% against the Iraq war and occupation. Anzar and his (un)Popular Party are the first casualties of a worldwide hate for Bush and his foreign policy.
The PSOE ran on a platform of getting out of the HUGELY unpopular Coalition of the willing and focusing on real terrorism threats rather than waste money on something as unnecessary to Spanish security as Iraq.
PSOE aren't pussies. It was they who got Spain into NATO and they who offered support to the US during Gulf War I.
I am sure though, that the vote swung their way more than it already was after the bombing. The bombing just very vividly demonstrated for them, on their 3/11, that their leaders were wasting their time and resources. And they wanted a change for a party that is promising real steps towards security.
