Abject surrender
Well, we now have the first surrender in the War on Terror. Spain has
surrendered to Al Quada and will remove its troops from Iraq. Do the Spanish really think that will be Al Quada's last demand?

Damn democracy! -Jeff B. yeff at erols dot com No, damn cowards Al Minyard 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. Brooks -- -Gord.

The above comment was wrong, anyway. The first surrender in the War on Terror was Libya. Gaddhafi isn't stupid - he saw the trend. -- cirby at cfl.rr.com Remember: Objects in rearview mirror may be hallucinations. Slam on brakes accordingly.

I'd suggest that 'honor' belongs to Pakistan which incubated the Taliban and Al Qaeda. After 9-11 Musharraf looked over the brink and decided cooperation with the US was a better idea. Keith
