I would think most Spanish people are furious, and the new admin will certainly need to act accordingly... ..do all it it's power to capture and punish the murderers.
Just because Spain pulls out of Iraq (which everyone is going to do soon enough anyway) doesn't mean they are "rolling over" to the terrorists. (It might appear that way in the short shoot, but I don't think so..) There are many ways to skin a cat. Knee jerk reactions are just a way to blow off...This recent atrocity ensures that this battle is hardly over. ![]() ![]() The terrorists are the stupid fools if they think people over the world will tolerate this stuff. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Action has to be taken and it IS a war and it affects the WHOLE world more so than any war has affected the world since World War II. And for those who think that there aren't any countries involved - there are. Those are the ones whoi support terrorism. That no amount of conjoling, pleading, negotiating nor bribes is going to change. If people want to combat terrorism - this particular kind of terrorism - people had better wake up that it is a war. Since so many people don't view it as a war - tell me what it is. Tell me how YOU would stop it. As Radagast said - throwing money at terrorist countries are not going to stop terrorism. Look at the Palestinians - every single time there is progress in the peace process - there is some wing of the fanatical palastinian terrorist group that destroys it by purposely attacking. The terrorists have to be eliminated - any country that supports terrorism must pay the price. In order for this to happen though - th western world has to start working together - like we did during World War II. Not haphazardly going back and forth. And yes - Spain buckled to the will of the terrorists - that is all too plain to see. It is sad but true. "If we didn't get involved in Iraq, we would not have been bombed" that is why the Socialist party was voted in - when they had been losing prior to the attacks. Lizra - it took ten years to build the Twin Towers - it took 1 hour to bring them down and eight airline tickets. ![]()

My friend who lives in Madrid sent an e-mail. She's fine, but the schools all closed down... understandably.

![]() And I meant funding, not weapons. I was under the impression some terrorist factions had some funding and money on banks in some western countries.

But what do you think they do with the fundings? Surely not invest in education or so. |

We have our tanks and planes in the ready - as we should. There are always multiple ways to win a war - even World War II wasn't won with just guns and ammo - it took intelligence information, spies, negotiations, etc. This is all beiung used in this war too. And I will continue to call it a war - becuase that is what it is. A world war.

You can't stop terrorism by invading countries. If Syria stops supporting them they'll go someplace else. Terrorists don't blow up buildings, people, and themselves because governments fund them to do it, they do it because they have been brainwashed into a twisted view of the world around them. Schools teach children to believe that Americans were put on Earth to try to destroy Muslims and the Islamic faith.
Education is the only way to stop terrorism. If people aren't brainwashed to believe that America is evil and murdering innocent civilians will bring them to paradise there would be a serious drop in terrorism rates. Organizations are already being established by a man in Pakistan to educate women and men about world affairs in a balanced way and they need to be expanded. Katie |

![]() ![]() Now....I was refering to destroying countries, and people's ideals...you know ....terroism is murder....murderers should not go unpunished. That type of thing. I don't think the people of Spain will forgive and forget, It will take some time for them to get over the initial shock for one thing, especially on the eve of a change in government. The USA got angry, I would imagine many Spanish folks will have that reaction also.....? I know the towers came down fast..... spare me the condescending attitude Mr Know-it all. ![]()

The "it" that wasn't destroyed in a day was Rome....a country, not a building.
Well, I guess I'll just forget manners when it comes to you. Bleah. ![]()

By the way - we aren't making war against Al Qaeda - Al Qaeda declared war against the west.
