Appeasement only encourages these people. There will be more terrorist attacks in Spain.

i think people can't grasp this. they have to be crushed. societies and groups function as organisms. terrorists groups are organisms. they are people rallied behind a body of beliefs that serves as the cohesive force, that binds them together and gives their lives meaning and purpose. any organisms first priority is its own survival... for a terrorist group, that only means 1 thing... committing acts of terrorism. they do not want anything specific. when it serves a purpose, they rally behind specific causes if a reasonable cause exists in their eyes that will serve their own purpose, when not, they rally behind broader ideas of "killing the infidels in the name of Allah" and so on.
fucked up people are born everyday and many would aspire for power at any cost. even the murder of innocent people... even at the cost of their own citizens. its been happening since the dawn of civilization. it's a horrible idea to believe that "if we would just do.... xxx, they would go away". its like believing that if you run from the barking dog... he will leave you alone. the opposite happens, he feels emboldened and he attacks at the first sign of weakness.
