How exactly do the terrorists win here? Alot of people, including Lieberman, are confusing the war on terror with the war in Iraq. Spain and the rest of the world are just going to be more determined than ever to actually go after the terrorists and destroy them. What they are not going to do is start unnecessary wars that do nothing to solve the problem at hand and, if anything, make it worse.
Aznar made the decision to go to war in Iraq even though the vast majority of his people were against it and there was no good reason to go other than to gain favor from the US. At the time, maybe he figured we'd find WMD, the war would be declared a success, and his people would forget about it and return to their regularly scheduled program. Unfortunately, things didn't work out like that.
Although it hasn't been proven that Al Qaeda is responsible, it is likely that if Aznar had not decided to go to war in Iraq, this tragedy would not have occurred. The Spanish people did the smart thing by voting out Aznar's party. Hopefully, my fellow Americans will do the same to Bush in November.
