While I am dissapointed that Spain is going to pull its troops out, it is certainly their right. If their people are opposed to Spainish troops being in Iraq, then the duly elected officials should follow the will of the people.
I do tend to agree that the immediate pull-out in the wake of the terrorist attacks sends a poor message and only boosts the morale of the terrorists. I also agree that the attack had an effect on the election - OF COURSE IT DID!!!!! Any sort of attack on a country is going to have an effect. 9-11 will have an effect on this year's U.S. election, we just don't know which way it will tilt the scales.
