I don't think Al Qaeda is that stupid

Al Qaeda has no reason for further attacks against Spain. They'll try to influence the elections of England, Italy, Poland and the United States through similiar tactics. I imagine Italy will fold like Spain (their local socialists and communists would invoke the same responses). Poland will get pissed off, hunker down and send more troops. England is a tough target because of their long experience with the IRA. It remains to be seen what will happen in the U.S. Hopefully we'll behave honorably like we did with 9/11.
