We Are All Spaniards

The way to defeat terrorism is to have it not work any more. This means
accepting the death and destruction without changing our policy.

Agree 100%. We must stay the course, fight the good fight, and not flinch.

Unfortunately, the Spanish just showed that terror will influence elections,
policies, treaties, and troop deployments.

A very, very bad precedent. I fear the world will pay a terrible price for
Spain's actions.

Alternatively the world will pay a terrible price for the US's actions.

I have read this thread with both respect for the (mostly) flame-free
discusion and in awe for the lack of information. You should read more
non-US media...

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?).

2. Terrorists are not fighting a religious war. They are fighting the
US and its allies, not Christianity.

The Uk gave the land to Israel following a war with Jewish terrorists.
People like Golda Meyer, Begin were all terrorists(freedomfighters).

Again, you're confusing terrorists with rebels.

Rebels fight for territory. Terrorists kill indiscriminately.

The jews in 1948 were indiscriminate killers. But by your definition the
Palestinians are rebels too and what they are doing is legitimate, fighting
for their native soil.

That's a BS myth -- they were most definitely NOT indiscriminante.

Nice (but damn lame) attempt at word games.

But then this whole thread is word games.

Boy, I really hate to step into this thread, but there were
incidents of what would be called "terrorism" today by the jewish
factions in pre-Israeli palestine. The bombing of the King David
Hotel in 1946 comes to mind.

I, for one, do not blame the Palestinians for fighting for their land.

However, they have lost the moral high ground with their moronic, murderous,
suicidal tactics. Where once we saw rebels, all we see now are terrorists.

Damn shame, too. They very nearly had world opinion on their side.

(Same thing happened to the IRA, by the way. Had they held strictly to
fighting the British, they might have pulled it off. Instead, they started
blowing up innocent civilians, and lost public opinion worldwide.)

They abandoned their land.

Unfortunately the Palestinians don't have any land. Never did. Israel
did not kick the Palestinians out of present day Israel.
