1. Spaniards changed their vote not because of terror, but because the
government manipulated the information regarding the terror attacks
and tried to mislead the people for their own advantage (ring a
bell?).

If you read the entire thread, you will find that you have missed this
salient point: It doesn't matter one whit if the Spanish voted for the
Socialists because they were influenced by Martians. Rather, what matters
is this: The terrorists must now perceive that elections and troop
deployments can be influenced by indiscriminate attacks on innocent "soft"
targets.

The terrorists are not stupid, they know why the voted as they did and will
not delude themselves. You delude yourself that the terrorists are dim
enough not realise that.

I cannot honestly believe that you think that the Spanish people should have
voted to re elect a self confessed government of liars and cheats just to
look hard.

The vote is the only weapon we have to punish politicians.

The politicians cocked it up not the Spanish people just as the politicians
have cocked up the whole war against terror/Iraq with their lies and
economies with the truth.
