Well, we now have the first surrender in the War on Terror. Spain has

Spain held an election and the people spoke. Damn democracy!

Gave in to the school bully I guess...

Pretty good analogy. Can't help but imagine what the effect of such an
attack would have been over here on this side of the big water; history
seems to point to it having likely resulted in an increase in support of
efforts aimed at draining the swamp that has given life to the butchers and
even if you don't credit Iraq with any links to terrorism (which would
require one to be somewhat myopic given their hosting of folks like Abu
Nidal and Abbas) we'd have been more determined not to cave in to their
demands, but Spain rolled over so fast it is not even funny. Their respect
rank just went down a few notches in my view.
