PD: the war on terror and the war in Iraq are two different things (one is always needed, the other one a total sham). However, if you back up a couple of steps, you can see that the Bin Ladin situation is an outcrop of the first war in Iraq. Bin Ladin's excuse for hating the US is that the infidels have troops in the Saudi territories. That is where this really starts.
As for Spain, well, without the war in Iraq, I doubt that the bombings would not have occured in the manner they did. It isn't to change the outcome of the Iraq conflict, but rather to isolate the US and make allies less likely to support future actions of any sort.
