Mikey, Mikey, Mikey ... gotta give you credit. Once you learn a song, you sing it for all it's worth.
First of all, you continue to equate the decision of the Spanish electorate to turn out the party in power to (in a wonderful high-school sports analogy) a "lack of balls." You refuse to acknowledge that it's just not that simple - that the patently false and pathetic attempts by the government to blame ETA in the face of the evidence probably played a major role in that decision.
Second, you must not know that Spain suffered 20 years of terrorist attacks from ETA before al Qaida was spun off the CIA proxy fight in Afghanistan.
Third, you apparently don't know that Spain's had on-again, off-again battles with anarchists since before the Spainish Civil War.
So ... perhaps your problem is that you are just too sophisticated to understand the situation in Spain. Unlike you, the Spanish people don't have enough appreciation of real politik to continue to support a government that a) engaged in a war that was unpopular with the majority of citizens,
suffered an attack as a result of that decision, and c) tried to shift the blame for that attack away from the perpetrators for political purposes.
That's the pesky, annoying thing about democracy, Mikey - lying cocksuckers tend to become unpopular and get voted out of office by unsophisticated folks who expect at least a little bit of truth out of the mouths of their politicians.
The bombs may very well be alQaida. However, if you know anything about Spain - or the world - you will know that not all terrorists are alQaida.
Maybe the events in Spain demostrate that some of the opponents of the Iraqi escapade were right in the first place - that while Iraq had no connection to alQaida BEFORE the war, it would become an alQaida cause after it started.
