Yes, the terrorists got what they wanted, a change in Spain's government that is favorable to them, and they got it by murdering people.
Yes, the terrorists are getting what they want here, when well-meaning but naive Americans beat their chests about how "terrible" the war in Iraq is and how "terrible" America is.
People are duped and conquered and don't even realize it.
Congratulations.

I don't think the terrorists give a rat's ass who is in power in Spain. They went after Spain to demonstrate a point and they succeeded. I honestly don't think there isn't a reason in the world that says the terrorists won't go after the new government in Spain if they wanted to.
As far as Bush or Kerry, again, I don't think the terrorists care about which guy is in power. Either man is just as much a target as the other. And both will probably react in pretty much the same way if the USA is attacked again. They will attempt to hammer the shit out of whoever they think did it.
I don't for a minute think Kerry is any less patriotic than Bush.
The only thing I hope is that Kerry doesn't try to throw US weight around like Bush did by attacking a noncombative country (Iraq).
