What is relevant is what the terrorists perceive. They have now seen that
"Bomb+Massive Casualties=Troops out of the Middle East."
No matter how you cut it, there is nothing good here. We are all much more
vulnerable, thanks to the Spanish.
The first part is certainly true, but I'm not sure the last bit is.
Given that attacking the U.S. resulted in two shooting wars, plus
manifold other actions against terrorism, I don't think that the U.S.
is the next logical target. Surely Italy is. Or, if the message is
"all crusaders bad", then France.
