Spain did not buy its Safety
Spain’s pledge to remove its troops from Iraq appears not to have bought its safety. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2001894758_spain03.html I was wrong in this regard, but possibly also right. I will say exactly what I mean in a second.
The fact that Islamo-Fascists attempted to hit Spain again is hardly cause for celebration. It proves that all of us in the West are potential targets. At the same time, it also greatly undermines Al Qaeda’s ability to manipulate Western elections and, in the end, will do more to unite us than Bush could ever hope to do. That is the bright side of it.
Now, the reason I say I may be right is a few posts back I said that Al Qaeda’s transformation from a organization into almost a kind of ideology, may limit its ability to stick to a strict course of action and this be hurt Al Qaeda strategically. http://canadawide.blogspot.com/2004_03_01_canadawide_archive.html Scroll down to "Is Spain off Limits"
Some have said that there is a Moroccan nationalist angle to the Madrid bombing. http://slate.msn.com/id/2097370
